docker-compose 挂载单个文件带目录

Question

I can't mount a file if I put it in a subdirectory (myconfig) relative to the docker-compose up command. $PWD is /home/username/temp/ and docker-compose up run from there.

This is not working:

version: '3'
services: 
  proxy:
    container_name: proxy
    image: nginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - $PWD/myconfig/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

But this works if I copy nginx.conf to the $PWD directory:

version: '3'
services: 
  proxy:
    container_name: proxy
    image: nginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - $PWD/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

So none of these works:

$PWD/myconfig/nginx.conf
./myconfig/nginx.conf
/home/username/temp/myconfig/nginx.conf

But these work, if I copy $PWD/myconfig/nginx.conf to $PWD/config.conf:

./nginx.conf 
$PWD/nginx.conf

log:

Creating network "temp_default" with the default driver
Creating proxy ... error

ERROR: for proxy  Cannot create container for service proxy: not a directory

ERROR: for proxy  Cannot create container for service proxy: not a directory
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

However when I use the long syntax, it is working with subdirectory:

version: '3'
services: 
  proxy:
    container_name: proxy
    image: nginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: $PWD/myconfig/nginx.conf
      target: /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Is here something that I miss, or is this a bug or lack of documentation?

Answer 1

Your example works fine for me.

# docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.25.0, build unknown

Since you mentioned that even with explicit path it was not working, while it was working inside your main folder, I would suggest to check the permissions for the myconfig folder. Make sure all users are allowed access and read ('x' and 'r')

# ls -ltr
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 06:03 myconfig
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  182 Feb 23 06:05 docker-compose.yml

if the the permissions are not correct, set them with chmod a+xr myconfig/ and chmod a+r myconfig/nginx.conf
