Description
Trying to mount the current directory with -v .:/source or --mount source=.,target=/source results in an error. Using relative paths causes a new volume to be created instead of mounting the .
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Run:
docker run -v .:/source alpine OR docker run --mount source=.,target=/source alpine - Run:
mkdir source
touch source/test
docker run -it -v ./source:/source alpine
# (in the container's shell)
ls /source
Describe the results you received:
- The error message:
docker: Error response from daemon: create .: volume name is too short, names should be at least two alphanumeric characters.
See 'docker run --help'.
- The
ls command does not show any files in the /source directory. Instead, a new docker volume is created with the name source.
Describe the results you expected:
- The current directory to be mounted to the docker container at the path
/source. - The
source folder in the current directory to be mounted to the docker container at the path /source.
Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
The -v and the --mount flags should accept relative paths. Using $(pwd) on Linux and %cd% on Windows is not a pretty solution, and I have to include separate commands for Windows and Linux in my projects.
