How to use -v volumes parameter in docker on Windows Subsystem for Linux












1















My windows 10 version is 1803



I install docker fellow the link:



https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows-and-wsl-to-work-flawlessly



I try to use -v of docker like:



docker run -it -v ~/.aws:root/.aws/ ubuntu


I also try to use:



docker run -it -v $(realpath ~/.aws):/root/.aws ubuntu


But I find the volumes I want to mapping to docker system is not there.



when I do:



ls /root/.aws



there is always empty, how to mapping the data volumes on Windows Subsystem for linux?

  • Not sure of that, not a windows user, but docker run volume mapping format is -v <host-path>:<container-path>, thus I guess it might be smth. like, with windows inverted backslash flavor: docker run -it -v 'c:/foo/bar/aws':/root/.aws ubuntu

  • the ~/.aws is not mapping in c:/foo/bar/.aws

  • vice versa, as I understand; you're trying to map some directory on Windows to Docker container, aren't you? Anyway, despite windows is not native Docker habitat, I believe you're missing something trivial here

  • actually, I use subsystem Linux on widnows, I try to mapping the subsystem Linux directory to docker Container

  • The simple answer is WSL does not nicely work together with docker for windows. (At least I have not found a way). You can however mount native windows directories as docker volumes when you work in the windows shell..

Docker for Windows runs atop Windows itself but has no knowledge of WSL.



In WSL:




  • Distros can see the contents of Windows "drives" via the automatically mounted drives under /mnt/<drive-letter>

  • Windows currently cannot reach into the filesystems of installed Linux distros. We're working to remedy this in future releases ;)


While Docker Engine itself cannot run within WSL, you can install Docker for Windows, and operate it from within WSL using the docker command-line tool, specifying the hostname via the -h argument, or export to DOCKER_HOST in your .bashrc.
