MD Express error when starting from within a docker

[AHarouni]

I can start and run MD Express from a local host. However I get an error from docker compose not finding files when I try to run MD express through a docker in docker after exposing the socket -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

it seems like MD express launches dockers of its own as I get error trying to look for config files that are there on host but are mounted in different directory in the docker

Work around: I map the host dir to exactly the same as is into the docker as -v /home/harouni/demos/MDExpress:/home/harouni/demos/MDExpress

Proposed solution we can add a variable in the .env file as HOST_PATH which would be defaulted to $PWD but I can then change to read from an environment variable as -e HOST_PATH=/home/harouni/demos/MDExpress That way you can launch the sub dockers using this variable HOST_PATH
