Hello Everyone
Can any one help me on this error
In my code base I’m using Network Path (\abc\files) of Hosted System
But when I’m running the image on docker I’m getting error as Directory not found where the /app/ is coming at the start of directory (/app/\abc\files)
where /app is coming from
WORKDIR /app
of DockerFile
Is this a linux or windows container?
Assuming this is windows host, linux container, may be trying to mount a UNC path. It seems like docker doesnt support UNC paths out of the box, but there’s an article which might help (windows build 1709+): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/persistent-storage#smb-mounts (SMB Global Mapping)
More likely it’s trying to use a relative path when you mean to use an absolute
Which is often a sign of trying to use Windows-isms in a Linux environment 
Hi
I had tried to mount my drive in container
docker run -p 81:81 -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="QA" --name project1 --mount type=bind,source=\\MyServer\MyShare\path\to\file,target=/app project1 :latest
but getting the error
EXTRA string=\\MyServer\MyShare\path\to\file is not a valid Windows path
Docker File
RUN apk add icu-libs
ENV DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=false
WORKDIR /app
RUN apk add --no-cache tzdata

For image

For Container
```docker run -p 81:81 -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="QA" --name Project1 Project1 :latest```
C# Codebase
```DirectoryInfo watchDirInfo = new DirectoryInfo("\\abc\file$\doc\test");
FileInfo[] fileInfos = watchDirInfo.GetFiles(_filePattern, SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);```
Error
``` Could not find a part of the path '/app/\\abc\file$\doc\test'.

where *(\\abc\file$\doc\test)* is a network drive pathSo I see Alpine in the base container name, this is a Linux container as I said
That means that even though you think you’re on a Windows machine, Docker is actually running in a Linux VM
So it doesn’t understand Windows-isms
(at least not all of them)
So what should i do to mount my network path on the docker container
i had used
docker run -p 81:81 -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="QA" --name project1 --mount type=bind,source=\\MyServer\MyShare\path\to\file,target=/app project1 :latest
but it is not recognizing \\MyServer\MyShare\path\to\file as a correct path and giving the error
EXTRA string=\\MyServer\MyShare\path\to\file is not a valid Windows path
Check their docs? For all I know you literally can’t
You could mount the UNC path as a drive
We will mount path on drive on local but how will that happen on production
I know nothing of your production servers so I can’t comment
In general this is not a thing you would do anyway
docker run is not how you run things in production in anything but the most basic of systems
Can i replicate these steps on my local somehow to see how the things work in production with kubernatives
