Trouble mounting a folder from host onto my docker image <p>I am trying to mount a folder from my host system to a docker container. I am aware of the <code>-v</code> attribute of docker commands.</p> <p>My command is:</p> <pre><code>docker run -v /home/ubuntu/tools/files/:/root/report -i -t --entrypoint /bin/bash my_image -s </code></pre> <p>But this does not seem to work, no files appear at my designated container folder. This is very frustrating as I will need to add files to my docker image at periodic intervals so just adding them to the build file at creation wont cut it.</p>
