Visual Studio run Docker project issue

I have a strange situation, if I run a Docker project in Visual Studio 2017 I get an error saying: Cannot start service webapplication1: error while creating mount source path '/host_mnt/c/Users/MyUser/vsdbg/vs2017u5': mkdir /host_mnt/c/Users/MyUser/vsdbg/vs2017u5: permission denied

But, if I run the same project with the command docker-compose up -d it works. It cannot be a permission issue only for Visual Studio.

Solution

  • I just had the same problem - found the solution at https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/897

    Basically, the problem is access to C:\Users\user\vsdbg - not to think too much I gave R/W access for Everyone to this one and C:\Users\user\.nuget, just in case, and it worked like a charm :)
