Trying to run masquitto Docker container on Windows. I have directory structure:
..
mosquitto
config
-- mosquitto.conf
data
log
I run command:
docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 -v mosquitto.conf:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf -v /mosquitto/data -v /mosquitto/log eclipse-mosquitto
Got error:
docker: Error response from daemon: source /var/lib/docker/overlay2/c54f317f73085489398e1b2c4ffbc85fbdb18073e8a0fa60f11a7f7222fbc49d/merged/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf is not directory.
See 'docker run --help'.
What I do wrong?
UPD
I tried to provide full path to config file on host machine:
docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 -v C:/docker_tst/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquitto.conf:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf eclipse-mosquitto
Got error:
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:370: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:459: container init caused: rootfs_linux.go:59: mounting "/run/desktop/mnt/host/c/docker_tst/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquitto.conf" to rootfs at "/var/lib/docker/overlay2/d9a7cbcb0f85b195dc5ee2d0999b3df8c84324552f6c45cf218876e9b96ed826/merged/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf" caused: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.
PS C:\docker_tst\eclipse-mosquitto>
From the comments, the solution was to provide an absolute path to the single mounted file, per this answer.
On Unix based systems or in Windows Subsystem for Linux, you can do this by running something like:
docker run -v $PWD/filename:/path/in/container IMAGE_NAME
However, the process is different on Windows, per this answer.
In PowerShell, you can run Get-Location or pwd to get the current directory where your file is and switch the \ to / (forward slashes). For this example, the solution was to use this command:
docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 -v C:/docker_tst/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquito/config/mosquito.conf:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf eclipse-mosquitto
