cannot share a folder with docker container

I am running a python interactive docker container on Ubuntu 14.04 using docker 17.03.1. I want to share files between local host and docker container so that files I create in the container are visible in the local directory and vice-versa. However when I run the following command I see an empty working directory in the container with no files.

docker run -e USER=$USER -e USERID=$UID -v /home/watts/python:/home/watts/python -w=/home/watts/python -p 8888:8888 --rm -it watts/python jupyter notebook --no-browser --notebook-dir=/home/watts/python --allow-root
Solution

  • I just run this command: 

    docker run -v `pwd`/home/watts/python:/home/watts/python -it kaggle/python /bin/bash

    And after that, I started creating a few files both host and container. All files are visible in both sides.

    Hopefully this will help.
