Is there a beginners step by step guide or something? I’m super new to this and trying to get a program called LazyLibrarian working but I need it to have access to my books folder. I looked at the official docker stuff but I only saw how to set up Synchronized file shares on a pro plan. Is it not possible to do on a personal account? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I know very little and trying to help out my Mum set up a remote Library.
I can share my below templates for beginners:
Recommended links to learn the basics and concepts:
- General “self-paced” training about containers: Introduction to Containers
- My tutorials: Welcome to Learn Docker’s documentation! — Learn Docker documentation
- What is a container (docker docs): What is a container? | Docker Docs
in short you can simply mount folders which is mentioned on all of the above guides.
If you share your exact problem with error messages and commands used for creating the container, someone may have an idea what you are doing wrong.
Direct links to sharing local files, not just with the file sync feature
“If you share your exact problem with error messages and commands used for creating the container, someone may have an idea what you are doing wrong.”
So I installed it via package center inside Docker Desktop, then I just hit the run button. I’ll try reading through the links you provided and see if I can figure it out.
I can not for the life of me figure this out even after reading all those. I think I may be useless at this aha.

Whenever I try and connect my Calibre library I get this error
2024-11-24 07:19:24 2024-11-24 12:19:24,517 ERROR: run_script exception: FileNotFoundError [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\alex-\\Calibre Library\\' [common.py:501 (WEBSERVER)]
And whenever I try and bind mount the directory to my container I get this error
/bin/sh: 1: docker: not found
But how do you run the container that gives you the error of “No such file or directory”?
I click the run button.
I’m not entirely sure what the issue is. If you use Docker Desktop’s GUI to runa container, you can still mount folders and there are three dots onto which you can click and browse your host.
The error message shows a Windows path, but if that is a container log, it shouldn’t even know about your windows paths, so I guess you configued the the host paths somewhere which is not visible for the container, only the container path.
The second error message about not finding the docker command is the second I don’t understand. I assume you executed the docker command in the container, not on the host.
I asked about how you created the container to be able to reproduce the issue or understand at least what you configured, but the information about that you clicked on the “Run” button doesn’t bring me closer to reproducing it 
If you can share which image you are using exactly and what you set for the container and in which field, someone can give you a better answer.
I finally figured it out. Thank you for the help.
