Docker destination directory stays empty - docker

Question

Today I installed home assistant as docker on my banana pi but the config files are not showing up in the destination directory I am giving him as argument. The command was:
docker run -d --name="homeass" --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e "TZ=Europe/Berlin" -v /home/pi/homeassistant/config --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
the directories homeassistant and config where create before and the container is starting without problems in the logs but I cant find the config files like configuration.yaml which should be saved in "/home/pi/homeassistant/config".
Does anyone have an idea what I have to change in the command? Its no problem to create a new image since I havent done much in this one for now.
if I executed docker container inspect homeass I can see that the output direcoty is actually set also in the config file of the docker:

You missed a : when copying the docker setup command from the installation instructions. Try:
docker run -d --name="homeass" --privileged --restart=unless-stopped -e "TZ=Europe/Berlin" -v /home/pi/homeassistant:/config --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
That should put the files in /home/pi/homeassistant.
If you do want the files to end up in /home/pi/homeassistant/config,
write -v /home/pi/homeassistant/config:/config.
