Hello all!
To preface, I am extremely new to Linux and, by extension, Docker Desktop for Windows… so please excuse my ignorance.
I am attempting to run a program that utilizes Docker images, but I am having considerable difficulty mounting (using -v). Kindly see below for the abridged Linux line item I am entering, with exact syntax copied over.
docker run -v "/D/R tools/input_files":/src/data -v "/D/R tools/output":/src/outdir <IMAGE> --refsample file_seq1.txt --mixture file_mix1.txt
Per the image --help, here is the required syntax:
docker run -v {dir_path}:/src/data -v {dir_path}:/src/outdir image [Options] where {dir_path} are required to be absolute paths.
I have verified that my image exists and is usable. I have verified that the attached files (file_seq1.txt and file_mix1.txt) are present in “/D/R tools/input_files”. I have verified that the selected image options exist.
Running my populated Linux command returns the below error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): ERROR - utility::checkValidMount(): file_mix1.txt not found in /src/data/. Please check the parent directory's bind mount.
NOTE: I have tried removing "" from {dir_path}; I have tried changing the location of my input files; I have reset Docker Desktop and my host machine; I have switched the / in the {dir_path} to \; I have tried adding "" to /src/data. All to no avail.
Other items of possible interest/help:
- I am using Ubuntu-20.04
- My directory is mike@DESKTOP-X1234A1:/mnt/c/Users/mike$
Thank you in advance, please let me know if additional information is needed. Again, I am new to machine languages and Linux (downloaded <24h ago…), so I am receptive to any and all suggestions.
