Docker Compose NOT Using Existing Volume for Windows 10 Container

Operating system

Ubuntu 22

Description

Hello,

Windows 10 container on a Proxmox LXC environment. I had created this container some time ago and it was working fine. Recently, I made some changes to the Docker Compose file, such as adding GPU passthrough. After making these changes, I ran docker compose up, but it fails to use the existing data. Instead, it creates a new volume and starts fresh, ignoring my existing volume and data.

I can manually access the data through a file explorer, but I need the program running in the same container to execute that data for it to be useful. In short, I need to get the same Windows 10 installation to boot up instead of starting fresh.

Dockerfile:

FROM scratch COPY --from=qemux/qemu-docker:5.16 / /

Could someone please help me understand why the existing volume is not being used and how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you for your assistance!
