I am trying to mount a host directory into a Docker container so that any updates done on the host is reflected into the Docker containers.
Where am I doing something wrong. Here is what I did:
kishore$ cat Dockerfile

Docker version 0.9.1, build 867b2a9
I don't know how to check boot2docker version
Questions, issues facing:
How do I need to link the main_folder to the test_container folder present inside the docker container?
I need to make this automatically. How do I to do that without really using the run -d -v command?
What happens if the boot2docker crashes? Where are the Docker files stored (apart from Dockerfile)?
There are a couple ways you can do this. The simplest way to do so is to use the dockerfile ADD command like so:
ADD . /path/inside/docker/container
However, any changes made to this directory on the host after building the dockerfile will not show up in the container. This is because when building a container, docker compresses the directory into a .tar and uploads that context into the container permanently.
The second way to do this is the way you attempted, which is to mount a volume. Due to trying to be as portable as possible you cannot map a host directory to a docker container directory within a dockerfile, because the host directory can change depending on which machine you are running on. To map a host directory to a docker container directory you need to use the -v flag when using docker run, e.g.,:
# Run a container using the `alpine` image, mount the `/tmp`
# directory from your host into the `/container/directory`
# directory in your container, and run the `ls` command to
# show the contents of that directory.
docker run \
-v /tmp:/container/directory \
alpine \
ls /container/directory
The user of this question was using Docker version 0.9.1, build 867b2a9, I will give you an answer for docker version >= 17.06.
What you want, keep local directory synchronized within container directory, is accomplished by mounting the volume with type bind. This will bind the source (your system) and the target (at the docker container) directories. It's almost the same as mounting a directory on linux.
According to Docker documentation, the appropriate command to mount is now mount instead of -v. Here's its documentation:
--mount: Consists of multiple key-value pairs, separated by commas. Each key/value pair takes the form of a <key>=<value> tuple. The --mount syntax is more verbose than -v or --volume, but the order of the keys is not significant, and the value of the flag is easier to understand.
The type of the mount, which can be bind, volume, or tmpfs. (We are going to use bind)
The source of the mount. For bind mounts, this is the path to the file or directory on the Docker daemon host. May be specified as source or src.
The destination takes as its value the path where the file or directory will be mounted in the container. May be specified as destination, dst, or target.
So, to mount the the current directory (source) with /test_container (target) we are going to use:
docker run -it --mount src="$(pwd)",target=/test_container,type=bind k3_s3
If these mount parameters have spaces you must put quotes around them. When I know they don't, I would use `pwd` instead:
docker run -it --mount src=`pwd`,target=/test_container,type=bind k3_s3
You will also have to deal with file permission, see this article.
you can use -v option from cli, this facility is not available via Dockerfile
docker run -t -i -v <host_dir>:<container_dir> ubuntu /bin/bash
where host_dir is the directory from host which you want to mount.
you don't need to worry about directory of container if it doesn't exist docker will create it.
If you do any changes in host_dir from host machine (under root privilege) it will be visible to container and vice versa.
2 successive mounts:
I guess many posts here might be using two boot2docker, the reason you don't see anything is that you are mounting a directory from boot2docker, not from your host.
You basically need 2 successive mounts:
the first one to mount a directory from your host to your system
the second to mount the new directory from boot2docker to your container like this:
1) Mount local system on boot2docker
sudo mount -t vboxsf hostfolder /boot2dockerfolder
2) Mount boot2docker file on linux container
docker run -v /boot2dockerfolder:/root/containerfolder -i -t imagename
Then when you ls inside the containerfolder you will see the content of your hostfolder.
Is it possible that you use docker on OS X via boot2docker or something similar.
I've made the same experience - the command is correct but nothing (sensible) is mounted in the container, anyway.
As it turns out - it's already explained in the docker documentation. When you type docker run -v /var/logs/on/host:/var/logs/in/container ... then /var/logs/on/host is actually mapped from the boot2docker VM-image, not your Mac.
You'll have to pipe the shared folder through your VM to your actual host (the Mac in my case).
For those who wants to mount a folder in current directory:
docker run -d --name some-container -v ${PWD}/folder:/var/folder ubuntu
I'm just experimenting with getting my SailsJS app running inside a Docker container to keep my physical machine clean.
I'm using the following command to mount my SailsJS/NodeJS application under /app:
cd my_source_code_folder
docker run -it -p 1337:1337 -v $(pwd):/app my_docker/image_with_nodejs_etc
[UPDATE] As of ~June 2017, Docker for Mac takes care of all the annoying parts of this where you have to mess with VirtualBox. It lets you map basically everything on your local host using the /private prefix. More info here. [/UPDATE]
All the current answers talk about Boot2docker. Since that's now deprecated in favor of docker-machine, this works for docker-machine:
First, ssh into the docker-machine vm and create the folder we'll be mapping to:
docker-machine ssh $MACHINE_NAME "sudo mkdir -p \"$VOL_DIR\""
Now share the folder to VirtualBox:
WORKDIR=$(basename "$VOL_DIR")
vboxmanage sharedfolder add "$MACHINE_NAME" --name "$WORKDIR" --hostpath "$VOL_DIR" --transient
Finally, ssh into the docker-machine again and mount the folder we just shared:
docker-machine ssh $MACHINE_NAME "sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=\"$U\",gid=\"$G\" \"$WORKDIR\" \"$VOL_DIR\""
Note: for UID and GID you can basically use whatever integers as long as they're not already taken.
This is tested as of docker-machine 0.4.1 and docker 1.8.3 on OS X El Capitan.
Using command-line :
docker run -it --name <WHATEVER> -p <LOCAL_PORT>:<CONTAINER_PORT> -v <LOCAL_PATH>:<CONTAINER_PATH> -d <IMAGE>:<TAG>
Using docker-compose.yaml :
version: '2'
services:
cms:
image: <IMAGE>:<TAG>
ports:
- <LOCAL_PORT>:<CONTAINER_PORT>
volumes:
- <LOCAL_PATH>:<CONTAINER_PATH>
Assume :
IMAGE: k3_s3
TAG: latest
LOCAL_PORT: 8080
CONTAINER_PORT: 8080
LOCAL_PATH: /volume-to-mount
CONTAINER_PATH: /mnt
Examples :
First create /volume-to-mount. (Skip if exist)
$ mkdir -p /volume-to-mount
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d
version: '2'
services:
cms:
image: ghost-cms:latest
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
- /volume-to-mount:/mnt
Verify your container :
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID ls -la /mnt
docker run -v /host/directory:/container/directory -t IMAGE-NAME /bin/bash
docker run -v /root/shareData:/home/shareData -t kylemanna/openvpn /bin/bash
In my system I've corrected the answer from nhjk, it works flawless when you add the -t flag.
On Mac OS, to mount a folder /Users/<name>/projects/ on your mac at the root of your container:
docker run -it -v /Users/<name>/projects/:/projects <container_name> bash
ls /projects
If the host is windows 10 then instead of forward slash, use backward slash -
docker run -it -p 12001:80 -v c:\Users\C\Desktop\dockerStorage:/root/sketches
Make sure the host drive is shared (C in this case). In my case I got a prompt asking for share permission after running the command above.
For Windows 10 users, it is important to have the mount point inside the C:/Users/ directory. I tried for hours to get this to work. This post helped but it was not obvious at first as the solution for Windows 10 is a comment to an accepted answer. This is how I did it:
docker run -it -p 12001:80 -v //c/Users/C/Desktop/dockerStorage:/root/sketches \
<your-image-here> /bin/bash
Then to test it, you can do echo TEST > hostTest.txt inside your image. You should be able to see this new file in the local host folder at C:/Users/C/Desktop/dockerStorage/.
As of Docker 18-CE, you can use docker run -v /src/path:/container/path to do 2-way binding of a host folder.
There is a major catch here though if you're working with Windows 10/WSL and have Docker-CE for Windows as your host and then docker-ce client tools in WSL. WSL knows about the entire / filesystem while your Windows host only knows about your drives. Inside WSL, you can use /mnt/c/projectpath, but if you try to docker run -v ${PWD}:/projectpath, you will find in the host that /projectpath/ is empty because on the host /mnt means nothing.
If you work from /c/projectpath though and THEN do docker run -v ${PWD}:/projectpath and you WILL find that in the container, /projectpath will reflect /c/projectpath in realtime. There are no errors or any other ways to detect this issue other than seeing empty mounts inside your guest.
You must also be sure to "share the drive" in the Docker for Windows settings.
Jul 2015 update - boot2docker now supports direct mounting. You can use -v /var/logs/on/host:/var/logs/in/container directly from your Mac prompt, without double mounting
I've been having the same issue.
My command line looked like this:
docker run --rm -i --name $NAME -v `pwd`:/sources:z $NAME
The problem was with 'pwd'. So I changed that to $(pwd):
docker run --rm -i --name $NAME -v $(pwd):/sources:z $NAME
How do I link the main_folder to the test_container folder present inside the docker container?
Your command below is correct, unless your on a mac using boot2docker(depending on future updates) in which case you may find the folder empty. See mattes answer for a tutorial on correcting this.
docker run -d -v /Users/kishore/main_folder:/test_container k3_s3:latest
I need to make this run automatically, how to do that without really
using the run -d -v command.
You can't really get away from using these commands, they are intrinsic to the way docker works. You would be best off putting them into a shell script to save you writing them out repeatedly.
What happens if boot2docker crashes? Where are the docker files stored?
If you manage to use the -v arg and reference your host machine then the files will be safe on your host.
If you've used 'docker build -t myimage .' with a Dockerfile then your files will be baked into the image.
Your docker images, i believe, are stored in the boot2docker-vm. I found this out when my images disappeared when i delete the vm from VirtualBox. (Note, i don't know how Virtualbox works, so the images might be still hidden somewhere else, just not visible to docker).
Had the same problem. Found this in the docker documentation:
Note: The host directory is, by its nature, host-dependent. For this reason, you can’t mount a host directory from Dockerfile, the VOLUME instruction does not support passing a host-dir, because built images should be portable. A host directory wouldn’t be available on all potential hosts.
So, mounting a read/write host directory is only possible with the -v parameter in the docker run command, as the other answers point out correctly.
I found that any directory laying under system directive like /var, /usr, /etc could not be mount under the container.
The directive should be at user's space -v switch instructs docker daemon to mount local directory to the container, for example:
docker run -t -d -v /{local}/{path}:/{container}/{path} --name {container_name} {imagename}
Here's an example with a Windows path:
docker run -P -it --name organizr --mount src="/c/Users/MyUserName/AppData/Roaming/DockerConfigs/Organizr",dst=/config,type=bind organizrtools/organizr-v2:latest
As a side note, during all of this hair pulling, having to wrestle with figuring out, and retyping paths over and over and over again, I decided to whip up a small AutoHotkey script to convert a Windows path to a "Docker Windows" formatted path. This way all I have to do is copy any Windows path that I want to use as a mount point to the clipboard, press the "Apps Key" on the keyboard, and it'll format it into a path format that Docker appreciates.
For example:
Copy this to your clipboard:
C:\Users\My PC\AppData\Roaming\DockerConfigs\Organizr
press the Apps Key while the cursor is where you want it on the command-line, and it'll paste this there:
"/c/Users/My PC/AppData/Roaming/DockerConfigs/Organizr"
Saves a lot to time for me. Here it is for anyone else who may find it useful.

; Docker Utility: Convert a Windows Formatted Path to a Docker Formatter Path
; Useful for (example) when mounting Windows volumes via the command-line.
;
; By: J. Scott Elblein
; Version: 1.0
; Date: 2/5/2019
;
; Usage: Cut or Copy the Windows formatted path to the clipboard, press the AppsKey on your keyboard
; (usually right next to the Windows Key), it'll format it into a 'docker path' and enter it
; into the active window. Easy example usage would be to copy your intended volume path via
; Explorer, place the cursor after the "-v" in your Docker command, press the Apps Key and
; then it'll place the formatted path onto the line for you.
;
; TODO:: I may or may not add anything to this depending on needs. Some ideas are:
;
; - Add a tray menu with the ability to do some things, like just replace the unformatted path
; on the clipboard with the formatted one rather than enter it automatically.
; - Add 'smarter' handling so the it first confirms that the clipboard text is even a path in
; the first place. (would need to be able to handle Win + Mac + Linux)
; - Add command-line handling so the script doesn't need to always be in the tray, you could
; just pass the Windows path to the script, have it format it, then paste and close.
; Also, could have it just check for a path on the clipboard upon script startup, if found
; do it's job, then exit the script.
; - Add an 'all-in-one' action, to copy the selected Windows path, and then output the result.
; - Whatever else comes to mind.

To get this working in Windows 10 I had to open the Docker Settings window from the system tray and go to the Shared Drives section.
I then checked the box next to C. Docker asked for my desktop credentials to gain authorisation to write to my Users folder.
Then I ran the docker container following examples above and also the example on that settings page, attaching to /data in the container.
docker run -v c:/Users/<user.name>/Desktop/dockerStorage:/data -other -options
boot2docker together with VirtualBox Guest Additions
How to mount /Users into boot2docker
https://medium.com/boot2docker-lightweight-linux-for-docker/boot2docker-together-with-virtualbox-guest-additions-da1e3ab2465c
tl;dr Build your own custom boot2docker.iso with VirtualBox Guest

Note that in Windows you'll have to provide the absolute path.
Host: Windows 10
Container: Tensorflow Notebook
Below worked for me.
docker run -t -i -v D:/projects/:/home/chankeypathak/work -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tensorflow-notebook /bin/bash
i had same issues , i was trying to mount C:\Users\ folder on docker
this is how i did it Docker Toolbox command line
$ docker run -it --name <containername> -v /c/Users:/myVolData <imagename>
You can also do this with Portainer web application for a different visual experience.
First pull the Portainer image:
docker pull portainer/portainer
Then create a volume for Portainer:
docker volume create portainer_data
Also create a Portainer container:
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer
You will be able to access the web app with your browser at this URL: "http://localhost:9000". At the first login, you will be prompted to set your Portainer admin credentials.
In the web app, follow these menus and buttons: (Container > Add container > Fill settings > Deploy Container)
I had trouble to create a "mount" volume with Portainer and I realized I had to click "bind" when creating my container's volume. Below is an illustration of the volume binding settings that worked for my container creation with a mounted volume binded to the host.
P.S.: I'm using Docker 19.035 and Portainer 1.23.1
I had the same requirement to mount host directory from container and I used volume mount command. But during testing noticed that it's creating files inside container too but after some digging found that they are just symbolic links and actual file system used form host machine.
Quoting from the Official Website:
Make sure you don’t have any previous getting-started containers running.
Run the following command from the app directory.
x86-64 Mac or Linux device:
docker run -dp 3000:3000 \
-w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" \
node:12-alpine \
sh -c "yarn install && yarn run dev"
Windows (PowerShell):
docker run -dp 3000:3000 `
-w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" `
node:12-alpine `
sh -c "yarn install && yarn run dev"
Aple silicon Mac or another ARM64 device:
docker run -dp 3000:3000 \
-w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" \
node:12-alpine \
sh -c "apk add --no-cache python2 g++ make && yarn install && yarn run dev"
Explaining:
dp 3000:3000 - same as before. Run in detached (background) mode and create a port mapping
w /app - sets the “working directory” or the current directory that the command will run from
v "$(pwd):/app" - bind mount the current directory from the host into the /app directory in the container
node:12-alpine - the image to use.
Note that this is the base image for our app from the Dockerfile sh -c "yarn install && yarn run dev" - the command.
We’re starting a shell using sh (alpine doesn’t have bash) and running yarn install to install all dependencies and then running yarn run dev. If we look in the package.json, we’ll see that the dev script is starting nodemon.
I have an issue connecting to mysql running in the local machine in my DockerFile i have mentioned
FROM php:7
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y openssl zip unzip git
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo mbstring pdo_mysql
WORKDIR /home
COPY . /home
RUN composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8081
EXPOSE 8081
and this in my .env configuration
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=testpassword
I have very less clue about where it is failing. Do i need to install mysql for Docker container also?
A much simpler solution (for Mac OSX & Docker for Windows) is to replace the host address from localhost
to host.docker.internal
DB_HOST=host.docker.internal
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=testpassword
Basically the DNS namehost.docker.internal will resolves to the internal IP address used by the host.
NB: If you have changed your address to host.docker.internal but you still receive connection refused error, it’s most probably because MySQL is currently configured to only listen to the local network.
To resolve that, please update the value of the bind_address to 0.0.0.0 in your my.cnf configuration file.
you are trying to connect to mysql in localhost, which is (surprisingly) the reference to the local host. since its a relative address, inside the container it is being resolved as the container own address, and no mysql is awaiting you there...
so to solve it - just give it your real host ip instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1.
step 1 - fix .env file:
DB_HOST=<your_host_ip> #run `ifconfig` and look for your ip on `docker0` network
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=laravel_server #not root, since we are going to allow this user remote access.
DB_PASSWORD=testpassword
step 2 - create dedicated user:
open your mysql: mysql -u root -p, give your root password, and run the following:
CREATE USER 'laravel_server'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'testpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO 'laravel_server'#'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
we created the user and gave it the permissions.
step 3 - open mysql to remote access:
we have to make it listening on all interfaces and not just localhost and therefore we run:
sudo sed 's/.*bind-address.*/bind-address=0.0.0.0/' /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
(you will be prompted for password. this command is just replacing the line in mysql configuration file)
step 4 - updating:
in the project directory: php artisan config:cache
service mysql restart
then docker build and run a new container again. it should work for you.
I see two options -
Use the private IP of your docker host i.e where mysql server is running.
Use the host network mode while running container in case you want to use localhost.
docker container --net=host ...
In my case (Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop), I had MariaDB already running and using port 3306. So when the app inside the docker container was trying to start MySQL that was inside the container it failed because it was trying to listen to an already used port. I switched off the already-running MariaDB using the command below :
sudo systemctl stop mariadb.service
Then tried starting the docker app. It ran successfully because port 3306 was now free and used by MySQL inside the container. But since I intend to use both of them, a much more permanent solution would be to configure either of the Database systems i.e the one inside the docker container or the one outside the docker container to use a different port other than the default 3306.
Question:
I follow some guides to install the wordpress + mysql by docker, but found that not work... I tried to test by curl command, found no any output, I need your help for the issue...
(I just transfer my wordpress hosting to VPS)
docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456 -d mysql
docker run --name wordpress --link mysql:mysql -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=123456 -d wordpress:4.8.2-apache

[root#vps ~]#
Resolved:
Thanks #junius(who in docker forums), #VladoDemcak, #yamenk and #user4860092! The issue was resolved!
If I do “docker run xxxx” that should not work for me, that maybe was caused by command incorrect. Then I tried to do docker-compose, curl no any output, but Wordpress should work normal. So curl no any output should normal.
Now, I completed task that transfer my Wordpress to new VPS, share follow tips and experiences:
Suggest follow docker official guide if you want to install WP by docker.
If you want to mapping the mysql and wordpress, can add follow
config in compose:
If you not config port part in compose, that mean not expose any
port to outside of container, so you couldn't access the port from
outside, as follow:
When you change “docker-compose.yml”, please not only use
“docker-compose down” that will not delete all config/file, suggest
you do “docker-compose down --volumes” that as install guide.
If you change database name, please add “WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: xxx” in
environment part of Wordpress(docker-compose.yml), that should no
this config in official install guide. So wordpress default connect
database name is “wordpress”.
If you want to debug wordpress/mysql and check log, you can not add
“-d”, use this “docker-compose up”
In order to restore mysql database, you can install phpmyadmin by
docker, then add follow config to “docker-compose.yml”, and follow
guide by “https://hub.docker.com/r/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/”
If you want to add some software in docker of Wordpress, e.g: zip,
mailx, you can do follow:
You don't have exposed ports, so you are not able to access wordpress (from host) which is running on the port 80 in docker container.
Probably you will need to expose port to some other port (not 80). So try to change docker run command for wordpress as follows:
docker run --name wordpress --link mysql:mysql -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=123456 -p 81:80 -d wordpress:4.8.2-apache
Please notice -p 81:80 parameter in the command - Docker documentation expose-incoming-ports.
After that wordpress should be available on localhost:81.
I would suggest you to create docker-compose for your services rather than maintain linking and with docker-compose you are also able to run both services with one command.
