Unfortunately, we do not have the bandwidth to provide in-depth integration/deployment/environment debugging or support here; these sorts of questions/requests would be more appropriately posted to a dedicated support forum, such as the Docker Community Slack, Server Fault, Unix & Linux, or Stack Overflow.

(I'd recommend exploring a named volume or better yet putting the files directly inside the Linux VM at a path you actually control.)
