Running the Docker command on Windows #7

Closed Kylir closed 8 years ago

Kylir commented 8 years ago

Hi there!

Thanks for this super useful container! I managed to build my custom firmware and add support for a non conventional (128x32) oled screen.

I struggled a little bit to run the docker command on Windows so I thought I would share the simple trick I found. You need to specify the full path in the command and you need to add a double forward back slashes (//) in front of the two paths. The command is then:

docker run --rm -it -v //c/Users/<user>/nodemcu-firmware://opt/nodemcu-firmware marcelstoer/nodemcu-build

I can submit a pull request with an updated README file if it helps.

Thanks!

Jason, thanks a bunch for this! Just the other day I got a support request via email from a guy who struggled with the exact same problem. As I don't use Windows myself my hands were tied and I couldn't help, very frustrating. I'll update the README accordingly.

double forward back slashes

Uuhhm, what's that? Wouldn't a forward back slash negate itself and thus become a pipe (|) :wink: ?

Kylir commented 8 years ago

Hehehe :) Silly me! Double forward slashes, of course! It's horrible enough...

marcelstoer commented 8 years ago

Jason, are you sure you need the // also in front of the "Docker path" i.e. the mount target? I think you only need them for the Windows path. It should be //c/Users/<user>/nodemcu-firmware:/opt/nodemcu-firmware no?

Kylir commented 8 years ago

Hi there, Sorry for the delay. I just tested and I can use both: /opt... or //opt.... It does not make any difference for me.

marcelstoer commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the confirmation! I updated README.md to document all the findings.

An addendum to this: I had to give Docker access to the drive containing my repository, in Settings/Shared Drives, before the "Not a git repository" error would go away.

First of all you need to give Docker access to the drive containing my repository, in Settings/Shared Drives!!! This helped me and then try to use the command line without --rm

docker run -it -v //c/users/<user>/nodemcu-firmware://opt/nodemcu-firmware marcelstoer/nodemcu-build

It checked on Windows 10!

Have a nice day.
