Docker volume not showing running linux container on Windows 10 - docker

I am running Docker for Windows v19.03.12. I am running a linux container from Windows 10. I am sharing my entire c:\ drive with Docker (see image). I am trying to testing a container locally and need to pass a credentials file to the container.
When I run the following command:
docker run --rm -p 9215:80 -p 44371:443 --name test -t createshipment:latest -v c:/temp:/data
When I explore the container I do not see a /data folder at all (see image).
I am not sure what else to try to share a folder when testing docker locally.

The command docker run expects the image name as the last argument, before any arguments to the image's entrypoint. In the OP's post, the image name precedes the -v ... argument, so -v ... is actually passed to the image's entrypoint.
docker run --rm -p 9215:80 -p 44371:443 --name test -t \
-v c:/temp:/data createshipment:latest
For the sake of completeness, here are the relevant excerpts from the documentation for the command-line options used here:
Usage: docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]
...
--name string Assign a name to the container
-p, --publish list Publish a container's port(s) to the host
--rm Automatically remove the container when it exits
-t, --tty Allocate a pseudo-TTY
-v, --volume list Bind mount a volume

How to get inside docker container to see the mounted volume?

I am trying to buld a simple docker file that has a debian image.
Also, I want to mount my local volume inside the docker container.
The problem I have is that how do I get inside the container to see the volume mounted.
$docker run -d -it bash --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/app docker_test:latest
43db16a76d50f1da0f8589c9ec460080ccef40122c9bc54abad3230dbbfe7885
I believe this 43db16a.. is container id. Even I try to attach to this container id I get an an error message. It says you cannot attach to the stop container. What am I missing here.
It works if I do
docker run -d -it --name test_docker1 --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/,target=/app docker_test:latest
and then
docker attach
d6bd3cc6dc667e742d0bb3c7fbec58935046c1bf7a2e0b6806d48817082c05be
Also, it works when I do
$docker run --rm -ti --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/,target=/app docker_test:latest
In another terminal do a docker ps, then look for the image you are looking for and copy the id, then do a docker exec -ti <your-image> bash there you have a bash terminal inside the container and you can check the mounted volume.

Use docker command in jenkins container

My centos version and docker version(install by yum)
Use docker common error in container
My docker run command:
docker run -it -d -u root --name jenkins3 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker docker.io/jenkins/jenkins
but,its error when I exec docker info in jenkins container
/usr/bin/docker: 2: .: Can't open /etc/sysconfig/docker
Exposing the host's docker socket to your jenkins container will work with
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
but you will need to have the docker executable installed in your jenkins image via a Dockerfile.
It is likely the example you are looking at is already using a docker image. A quick google search brings up https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-docker-for-ci/ whose example uses a docker image (already has the executable installed):
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-ti docker
Also note from that same post your exact issue with mounting the binary:
Former versions of this post advised to bind-mount the docker binary from the host to the container. This is not reliable anymore, because the Docker Engine is no longer distributed as (almost) static libraries.

Docker how to pass a relative path as an argument

I would like to run this command:
docker run docker-mup deploy --config .deploy/mup.js
where docker-mup is the name the image, and deploy, --config, .deploy/mup.js are arguments
My question: how to mount a volume such that .deploy/mup.js is understood as the relative path on the host from where the docker run command is run?
I tried different things with VOLUME but it seems that VOLUME does the contrary: it exposes a container directory to the host.
I can't use -v because this container will be used as a build step in a CI/CD pipeline and as I understand it, it is just run as is.
I can't use -v because this container will be used as a build step in a CI/CD pipeline and as I understand it, it is just run as is.
Using -v to expose your current directory is the only way to make that .deploy/mup.js file inside your container, unless you are baking it into the image itself using a COPY directive in your Dockerfile.
Using the -v option to map a host directory might look something like this:
docker run \
-v $PWD/.deploy:/data/.deploy \
-w /data \
docker-mup deploy --config .deploy/mup.js
This would map (using -v ...) the $PWD/.deploy directory onto /data/.deploy in your container, set the current working directory to /data (using -w ...), and then run deploy --config .deploy/mup.js.
Windows - Powershell
If you're inside the directory you want to bind mount, use ${pwd}:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v ${pwd}:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
or $pwd/. (forward slash dot):
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd/.:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
Just $pwd will cause an error:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
Variable reference is not valid. ':' was not followed by a valid variable name character. Consider using ${} to
delimit the name
Mounting a subdirectory underneath your current location, e.g. "site-content", $pwd/ + subdir is fine:
docker run -it --rm -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v $pwd/site-content:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
In my case there was no need for $pwd, and using the standard current folder notation . was enough. For reference, I used docker-compose.yml and ran docker-compose up.
Here is a relevant part of docker-compose.yml.
volumes:
- '.\logs\:/data'

Why doesn't the docker volume in Windows Server show up when I run this command?

I have a folder setup on the host machine at c:\testvol.
The docker image does not have a folder at c:\testvol.
When I run:
docker run --rm -d --name {name} {imagename} --v c:\testvol:c:\testvol
Why doesn't the volume show up on the container?
It appears in the docker command you need to specify the image name as the last parameter unless you want to pass arguments to be processed by the docker file.
Also, --v should be -v or --volume as --v is not recognized by the docker command.
The command you want is:
docker run --rm -d --name {name} --volume c:\testvol:c:\testvol {imagename}

Docker run syntax

Can anyone clarify the syntax in this command:
$ docker run -d -P --name web -v /src/webapp:/webapp training/webapp python app.py
I can see that:
Host directory: /src/webapp
Container: /webapp
but what is training/webapp? Is that the image? If so, why is there a /?
And is everything after that (i.e. python app.py) the command that you want to run in the container?
=====
And to clarify with this command:
$ docker run -d -P --name web -v /webapp training/webapp python app.py
How does it work if you ONLY specify -v /webapp - is that equivalent to /webapp:/webapp?
You can find the documentation for docker run here
The basic structure looks like this:
$ docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|#DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]
-d let's you run your docker container in detached mode, so you won't see the console output
-P publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces
--name the name of your container
-v the volume you mount host/path:container/path, where in your case /src/webapp is on your local machine and /webapp is inside your container
training/webapp is the username and image name for the docker image. I have linked the image's location on DockerHub for you
python app.pyare the command (python) and the argument run when the container starts (app.py)
Yes, training/webapp is image name. Dockerhub accept name this way only.
training is username and webapp is image name.
if you don't use dockerhub(this is image repository from docker pull image by default) and build image locally then you can give any name.
python app.py : command that will execute when docker up
--name web : this will be name of container
-v /src/webapp:/webapp : this will create volume webapp and mount on /src/webapp
--publish-all, -P : Publish all exposed ports to random ports
For more help see docker run Documentation.
