Empty home for selfbuilt image with volume

[whytox]

Since I own an M1 mac I have compiled the image by myself.

The problem is that when running such images I don't get the os161 directory in /home/os161user if I use a custom volume.

I think the error is on the volume: the container contains all the files when running without a volume.

Here is the inspect command result for the volume:

[
    {
        "CreatedAt": "2022-03-18T09:45:20Z",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Labels": {},
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/os161-vol/_data",
        "Name": "os161-vol",
        "Options": {
            "device": "/Users/vito/Dropbox (Politecnico Di Torino Studenti)/Programmazione di Sistema/OS161/os161-volume",
            "o": "bind",
            "type": "none"
        },
        "Scope": "local"
    }
]

And here is the command I use to run the image with the volume:

docker run --volume os161-vol:/home/os161user --name os161 -it polito-os161 /bin/bash

Thank you.

@whytox I've experienced something similar when trying to re-create a volume with the same name after deleting its pre-existing content (but not the actual bound folder). You can try the following:

1. Remove the container using the volume with docker rm os161
2. Delete the volume with docker volume rm os161-vol
3. Delete the folder you were binding to the volume rm -rf "/Users/vito/Dropbox (Politecnico Di Torino Studenti)/Programmazione di Sistema/OS161/os161-volume"
4. Follow the steps to create a volume anew.
5. Run the container mounting the new volume.

Hope this helps. If not, you can try to use a directory without spaces in its path as the folder that you bind to the volume. Spaces may be what's causing troubles.

Thank you, it worked!
