Oci runtime error "container init caused .. not a directory"

Docker Desktop

I am trying to run the service using docker-compose up with the following configuration:
web:
image: nginx
ports:
- "9090:80"
volumes:
- ./code:/code
- ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

but an error is thrown:

ERROR: for web Cannot start service web: invalid header field value “oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused “process_linux.go:359: container init caused \“rootfs_linux.go:53: mounting \\\”/c/tmp/test2/default.conf\\\” to rootfs \\\”/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/c8ee8e1e531ca7ea1cad17522fd4aaffd5684caaaf9bcc72fced0546e83784ab\\\" at \\\"/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/c8ee8e1e531ca7ea1cad17522fd4aaffd5684caaaf9bcc72fced0546e83784ab/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf\\\" caused \\\“not a directory\\\”\""\n"

Same here with

docker run --rm -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin:/etc/localtime:ro nginx:alpine

I had similar error and add :ro to specify read-only access on the volume definition:

  • ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro

I tried the “read-only” suggestion but it didn’t work.
