Volume mounting not working with docker-compose (MacOS) - docker

Question

I am relatively new to Docker and I am attempting to build a single custom image from my Dockerfile using docker-compose.
Dockerfile
FROM continuumio/anaconda3
#create a directory
WORKDIR /home/docker/qts
#copy the dependencies file
COPY ./requirements.txt .
#install necessary packages
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
#Expose ports
EXPOSE 5000
docker-compose.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
pyimg:
build: .
ports:
- 5000:5000
volumes:
- $HOME/Documents/qts:/home/docker/qts
My issue
Running docker-compose build gives me no errors. When I execute docker run -it <image_name> bash and navigate into the directory /home/docker/qts, the directory does not mirror the local directory.
A docker inspect also shows that the volumes are not mounted (and that the ports that I have exposed have also not been mapped to the local ports!) What am I missing here?
Thank you for your input.

You can not see with docker run you can check like below;
version: "3.8"
services:
pyimg:
build: .
ports:
- 5000:5000
volumes:
- $HOME/Documents/qts:/home/docker/qts
command:
- /bin/bash
- -c
- sleep 60
With docker ps find your container id than;
docker exec -it ID /bin/bash
And
ls
