How to mount volume to docker on OSX?

Question

I have a problem mounting a host machine volume to a docker image. I've added a folder to docker File sharing settings, but it doesn't get any effect. What do I have to do to solve the problem?

For example, I try to mount a volume which was added to File sharing settings in Docker Desktop, but I get permission denied error

~$ docker run --rm -it -v /Users/:/vm-root alpine ls -l /vm-root
docker: Error response from daemon: Mounts denied: EOF.

Also, you have overlapping directories. I suggest only exporting `/Users/username` directories and avoid `/Users` — Richard Barber, Oct 13 '19 at 21:09

Solution prvided by François Alexandre Docker: Mounts denied. The paths ... are not shared from OS X and are not known to Docker

With the new version 3.0.0 of Docker for mac, you need to disable use gRPC FUSE for file sharing in Preferences>Experimental Features.
