i have build a docker image that contains multiple configuration files inside the docker container. Now i want to write a docker compose file that uses this docker image and maps the configuration file into the host system. The reason: I want to be able to configure the configuration files with the host system without accessing the container.

How can i do that? I tried to define a volume inside the compose file. But if i start the container, it creates the directory on the host system. But the directory is empty. The mapped volume insider the container is not empty.

Best regards

    Can you share your `Dockerfile` for creating the image and the `docker-compose.yml` file? – Matteo Zanoni Mar 03 '22 at 13:16
  • The linked question describes a workaround to use Docker's "initialize a volume on first use" feature with a named volume that's actually a Linux bind mount. You also might try distributing the user-editable configuration files outside the container, the same way you're distributing the `docker-compose.yml` file. – David Maze Mar 03 '22 at 14:09
