I'm using a Windows container on a windows host and I get an error when using docker-compose and specify a volume mount. The error occurs after the container is built and the container is attempting to start (docker-compose up):

    [+] Running 2/0
     - Volume "myvol"  Created                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        0.0s

Here is my docker-compose.yaml file:

services:
  myservice:
    build: .
    image: myimage:latest
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: myvol
        target: C:\mydir
#  these dont work either.          
#        target: "C:\\mydir"
#        target: C:/mydir
#        target: //c/mydir
#        target: //c/mydir

volumes:
  myvol:
    name: myvol

Removing services.myservice.volumes creates a running container, so its something to do with that.

I'm pretty sure that I dont have the target format correct, and I also made sure to add the COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1 as per ERROR - Docker-compose/docker Windows.

Strangely enough, the following works as intended using docker only:

docker build . -t myimage:latest
docker run -dp 80:80 --mount "source=myvol,target=C:\mydir" myimage:latest

What is the correct volume format to use in docker-compose.yaml? Or are there other mistakes I've made?
