I'm using docker version Docker version 1.9.1, build a34a1d5
on ubuntu:14.04
. I have created a docker container with a volume option like this docker run -it -p 80:8080 -v host/folder:container/folder ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
. host/folder
has some files that i'm trying to access from container/folder
. The files from host/folder
isnt available from container/folder
.
How to access a directory in hosts machine from inside a docker container?

when you mount a host folder as a volume with
-v
you must specify absolute paths, so replacehost/folder
andcontainer/folder
with the absolute path.Something like
docker run -it -p 80:8080 -v /home/uday/host/folder:/container/folder ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
(of course set the correct path to your host/folder directory)
