So, I am new to Docker but after trying a couple of times I can't get this to work.

Basically I have a simple script like this:

Dockerfile

from centos:7
.....
COPY /C:/Users/Kalin/Drive/web/sites/foo.com/ /var/www
EXPOSE 80

Whenever I run docker build everything works as planned except at the COPY part I get this error: 

Step 10/11 : COPY /C:/Users/Kalin/Drive/web/sites/foo.com/ /var/www
COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder646917435/C:/Users/Kalin/Drive/web/Kalin/foo.com: no such file or directory

I get the error is about not finding a directory, but instead of looking for it starting from C:/.. foldedr it is looking from /var/...

I don't know what mistake I am doing

  • For the source path, you need to use a relative path from the directory you're currently in. – far Sep 11 '18 at 18:03

I would strongly suggest to make relative path in COPY command so if you have your docker file in /C:/Users/Kalin and you are running docker build from that folder, just place Drive/web/sites/foo.com/ in COPY command
