Any traction on this at all? I am fairly new to Docker still... However, I have a feeling this issue affects (a great many) Windoze users (those of us that didn't end up lucky) I have been hitting my head against this now for a full day... At the moment I am using just a docker-compose.yml file that reads like so:

# Drupal with MySQL
#
# Access via "http://localhost:8080" (or "http://$(docker-machine ip):8080" if using docker-machine)
#
# During initial Drupal setup,
# Database type: PostgreSQL
# Database name: postgres
# Database username: postgres
# Database password: example
# ADVANCED OPTIONS; Database host: postgres

version: '2'

services:

  drupal:
    image: drupal:7.53-apache
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    volumes:
        - './:/tmp:ro'
    restart: always
    env_file: ./.env

  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
      MYSQL_DATABASE: drupal
      MYSQL_USER: drupal
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: drupal
    restart: always

I have tried lots of different configurations... Ultimately I really just want to be able to share my Drupal codebase with the container... Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

I have a .env file that contains: COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS = 1

And a test text file, test.txt in the same root folder as docker-compose.yml... What might I be missing? Thanks!

I gave up. I assumed that docker is not working on Windows.

i found that if you run the docker-compose command with the following variable set, it will fix the path for windows:

COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1 docker-compose up -d

setting this variable only works in bash like environments however. I resorted to using the git bash terminal instead of my usual Cmder
