Accessing the files out of docker container

I have created a docker container image, and working inside the container (setting up filesystem, creating code files, installing dependencies etc).

On my Ubuntu machine, I keep a huge file under a directory so called /dataset/my_data/.

When I work in the container, it is not straightforward to access the above directory. Is there any possibility to access it from inside the container image interactively? If yes, how?

You can mount the directory as a volume:

docker ... --mount type=bind,source=/dataset/my_data,target=/some/directory

For example, to run a container called my-container with a bound volume:

docker run -it --mount \
  type=bind,source=/dataset/my_data,target=/target/directory \
  my-container

For all available possibilities, see Docker documentation.
