Local Env Variable Syntax error, Persisit %Userprofile% folder volume

[abelkbil]

Hi all, I am searching on how to persist user profile folder in volume mounting

I have folder C:\Users\ABEL\source\repos which needs to be persisted for a windows container. The username should be from the host. It is unknown.

Below is my docker-compose file, The volume section is not correct. Any comments will be helpful. Thanks in advance

version: '3.4'

services:
  directoryservice:
    image: ngt-directoryservice:latest
    build: .
    ports:
      - "44309:44309"
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:44309;
      - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=welcome123#
      - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx
    volumes:
      - ./devops/https/ngtcert.pfx:/https/aspnetapp.pfx:ro
      # - "$env:USERPROFILE/source:$env:USERPROFILE/source"
      - ${Env:USERPROFILE}\source:${Env:USERPROFILE}\source

I get below error

invalid interpolation format for services.directoryservice.volumes.[]: "${Env:USERPROFILE}\\source:${Env:USERPROFILE}\\source". You may need to escape any $ with another $.

Error response from daemon: mount denied: the source path "\Users\INaBJOJ1\source:C:\Users\INaBJOJ1\source:rw" too many colons

Trying to find how to use wslpath style

[ndeloof]

environment variable interpolation uses bash style: ${USERPROFILE} (no env: prefix)

is this for a Windows container (not Linux container on Docker Desktop Windows)? Which version of docker compose are you using? Can you run this container successfully with a classic docker run ... command ?

[abelkbil]

@ndeloof yes i have updated as below and i get colon error, mentioned above.

volumes:
      - ./devops/https/ngtcert.pfx:/https/aspnetapp.pfx:ro
      - "${USERPROFILE}/source/:${USERPROFILE}/source/"

Error invalid interpolation format for services.directoryservice.volumes.[]: "${Env:USERPROFILE}\\source:${Env:USERPROFILE}\\source". You may need to escape any $ with another $.

I am trying to generate a windows image. and use compose version 3.4

[ndeloof]

I'm asking about docker-compose --version you use, version: 3.4 actually isn't relevant (and can be fully removed if you use a recent compose release)

[ndeloof]

Also, please check you can run this container successfully with a classic docker run -v ... command, and this is a compose issue.

[abelkbil]

Docker Compose version v2.2.3.

I have modified my docker file as below. Stil now not able to resolve it.

# escape=`
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0
COPY . App/
WORKDIR /App
EXPOSE 44309
VOLUME ${USERPROFILE}\source\
RUN echo ${USERPROFILE}\source\
# RUN dir c:\
ENV ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="Development"
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS="https://+:44309;"
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "Service.dll"]

I was facing the same problem after a clean reinstall of the OS. The problem was that docker-compose wasn't using the last version (1.29) but an old one (1.17) which was causing a lot of errors.

Run docker-compose version and check that you have the latest version. If not, just install it: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-compose
