Volume binding using docker compose on Windows

Question

I recently upgraded my Docker Toolbox on Windows 10, and now my volume mounts no longer work. I've tried everything. Here is the current mount path:

volumes:   - C:\Users\Joey\Desktop\backend:/var/www/html 

I receive an invalid bind mount error.

Answer 1

1. Share nfs path using docker settings

2. execute following command

docker run --rm -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data 

3. Set path in docker compose file as shown below

4. File copied to windows

Answer 2

Use:

volumes:   - "C:/Users/Joey/Desktop/backend:/var/www/html" 

Putting the whole thing in double quotes and using forward slashes worked for me. I was on windows 10 in windows 10 using Linux containers through WSL2
