Windows 上的 docker 工具箱挂载文件

Question

I am a beginner with docker and I am using a windows machine. But I have a problem mounting files using volumes. The documentation says the following thing about mount files on OSX and windows :

Official docker docs :

Note: If you are using Docker Machine on Mac or Windows, your Docker daemon only has limited access to your OS X/Windows filesystem. Docker Machine tries to auto-share your /Users (OS X) or C:\\Users (Windows) directory - and so you can mount files or directories using docker run -v /Users/:/ ... (OS X) or docker run -v /c/Users/:/

>> go to docker volumes docks

I have a small nginx Dockerfile

Dockerfile

FROM centos:6.6

MAINTAINER afym

ENV WEBPORT 80

RUN yum -y update; yum clean all

RUN yum -y install epel-release; yum clean all

RUN yum -y install nginx; yum clean all

RUN echo "daemon off;" >> /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

VOLUME /usr/share/nginx/html

EXPOSE $WEBPORT

CMD [ "/usr/sbin/nginx" ]

Creating a simple container

docker run -d --name simple -p 8082:80 ng1

Creating a container with a volume

My windows host directory

Creating the docker container with -v option

docker run -d --name simple2 -v /c/Users/src:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 8082:80 ng1

invalid value "C:\\Users\\src;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\usr\\share\\nginx\\html" 
for flag -v: bad mount mode specified 
: \Program Files\Git\usr\share\nginx\html
See 'C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe run --help'.

Inspecting the ng1 image

docker inspect ng1

What is wrong when I am creating a docker container with a volume?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try to run it with additional / for volume like:

docker run -d --name simple2 -v /c/Users/src://usr/share/nginx/html -p 8082:80 ng1

Or even for host OS, as

docker run -d --name simple2 -v //c/Users/src://usr/share/nginx/html -p 8082:80 ng1

Due to this issue :

This is something that the MSYS environment does to map POSIX paths to Windows paths before passing them to executables.

As the OP said:

Official docker docs :

Note: If you are using Docker Machine on Mac or Windows, your Docker daemon only has limited access to your OS X/Windows filesystem. Docker Machine tries to auto-share your /Users (OS X) or C:\\Users (Windows) directory - and so you can mount files or directories using
docker run -v /Users/:/ ... (OS X)
or
docker run -v /c/Users/:/

But if you want access to other directories, you need to add a new shared folder to the virtual box settings (Settings > Shared Folders > Add share).

Add there a new share (only possible when you stop the vm before, docker-machine stop :

path C:\Projects
name c/Projects
autoMount yes

Or edit directly the vbox configuration file
C:\\Users\\<username>\\.docker\\machine\\machines\\default\\default\\default.vbox

Add there into <SharedFolders> the line

<SharedFolder name="c/Projects" hostPath="\\?\c:\Projects" writable="true" autoMount="true"/>

Restart the machine:

docker-machine stop
docker-machine start

Now, it's possible to mount also directories with the base C:\\Projects

docker run -v //c/Projects/myApp://myApp <myImage>

For anyone using docker ~> 1.12 and faces this issue. I spent 30min trying to figure it out until i realized you have to specifically share a drive first via docker settings, see: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#/shared-drives

如果您只是想访问本地驱动器，MINGW32 Docker Toolbox终端会将每个驱动器的根目录放在/<drive-letter> ，因此驱动器C:\\将位于/c/
