Volume share from container to host docker-compose

I'm trying to share data between container and host. So I just want to do this to store container files. The data must be shared from a container to host.

My docker-compose.yml

version: "3.3"
services:
  django:
    image: python:slim
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: ./env
        target: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
        volume:
          nocopy: true
      - ./src:/usr/src/app
    ports:
      - '80:80'
    working_dir: /usr/src/app
    command: bash -c "pip install -r requirements.txt && python manage.py runserver"

When I run docker throws this:

ERROR: for django Cannot create container for service django: invalid bind mount spec "/Users/gustavoopb/git/adv/env:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages:nocopy": invalid volume specification: '/Users/gustavoopb/git/adv/env:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages:nocopy': invalid mount config for type "bind": field VolumeOptions must not be specified ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

My problem was keeping the python env when my container goes down. To do this I need to share the env inside of the container to host. I tried the docker docs suggestion, but it wasn't working.

volume: 
    nocopy: true

My solution: I create a named container.

version: "2"

services:
  django:
    image: python:2.7
    command: bash -c "pip install -r requirements.txt && python manage.py collectstatic --no-input && python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80"
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - .:/app
      - env:/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
    links:
      - database
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
    working_dir: /app

volumes:
  env:

You're trying to use the named volume syntax with a bind mount. I'd switch your syntax to:

version: "3.3"
services:
  django:
    image: python:slim
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./env
        target: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
      - ./src:/usr/src/app
    ports:
      - '80:80'
    working_dir: /usr/src/app
    command: bash -c "pip install -r requirements.txt && python manage.py runserver"

Note the change in the type and the lack of the nocopy option. Copying files from the image to a host bind isn't supported, that is only available with named volumes.

The volume specified in the docs is not used in the service, rather, it is specified externally to service. Try removing the last line from volume:

volume:
  nocopy: true
