Docker Toolbox Mounts host directory to container for proper operation under window home

Since I am windows Home and not the Pro version, I can only use Docker Toolbox, in fact, the Docker for window has better support and the Gui,home version of Docker is also very hard to install. Fortunately I installed, but the daily use is more than the pro version of the Docker has more pits, here I stepped on the pit, recorded, benefiting others.

This pit is Docker Toolbox in window Home under the Mount host directory to the container, would like to think is to be in Docker for WIN10 Pro provide GUI set with C drive sharing, Google a lot of ways, Or in the Docker community, an old brother sharply pointed out that this is actually a grammatical error, echoing the link.

When the Docker container starts, if you want to mount a directory for the host, you can specify it with the-v parameter.

For example, I want to start a CentOS container, the host's C:/users/t480s/work/engine directory is mounted to the container's/engine directory, which can be specified in the following ways:

Docker run-it-v c:/users/t480s/work/engine:/engine-p 8000:8000 Steveny/predictionio:0.12.0/bin/bash

This allows the container to automatically create a/engine directory after the container is started. In this way, we can make it clear that, in the-v argument, the colon ":" in front of the directory is the host directory, and the following directory is the directory inside the container.

Note: The container directory is not considered a relative path and the slash is a backslash '/'

But it's still an error.

Error: Error response from Daemon:invalid mode:/engine

Would like to think that in Docker for WIN10 Pro to provide GUI settings and C-disk sharing, Google a lot of ways, or in the Docker community, an elder brother sharply pointed out that this is actually a grammatical error, reference.

This is the code that was modified after referring to the error pointed out by others

8000:8000 Steveny/predictionio:0.12. 0 /bin/bash

No error, correct output
