Docker mount shows empty in wsl2

Question

I am using WSL2 with Docker Desktop 3.3.3 (Latest). When I use docker containers inside a WSL2, I am not able to mount the required WSL2 files. Docker run will not give any issues, but it shows empty folder inside a container.

Any idea on this?

Answer 1

Suppose you want to mount a directory named "mydir", use the command:

docker run -it --name container_name -v /mydir:/mnt  image_name:version

Here, /mnt is the workspace inside the container where the files of "mydir" will be accessible.
