Postgres in WSL 2 with Docker - Operation not permitted when I share volumes enter windows folder

Question

Postgres in WSL 2 - : Operation not permitted when I share volumes enter windows folder.

I'm using Windows WSL2 Sub system to emulate Linux on a VM.

I'm having trouble sharing the linux volume to a folder that is on windows.

WSL sets up a c directory within mnt. It is this directory that I am trying to use to create the Docker volume.

The problem does not occur when I unmount the volume on file compose.

I believe it must be something with permission in the windows folder.

Thank you

Answer 1

I created an internal volume in Docker.

This way I can share the files from the location to the volume.
