I am trying to run the following command
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v/app/node_modules -v $(pwd):/app 2ef0206fcf99
I am getting the following error
docker: Error response from daemon: create $(pwd): "$(pwd)" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
How can I fix the issue?

I also had the same issue on windows make sure that you put "$PWD" something like this so your command should be something like this
docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$PWD:/app" 2ef0206fcf99
or another way is
docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 --volume="$PWD:/app" 2ef0206fcf99

1) Using Windows Powershell
, following works for me:
docker run --rm -it -v ${pwd}:/mydir nginx:latest bash
Note:
pwd
instead of small braces2) Using Git Bash
, following syntax should work:
winpty docker run --rm -it -v "/$PWD":/mydir nginx:latest bash
Note:
If you do not use winpty
at the start of the command, you will get error message: the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'
Also notice the /
before $PWD
. Without the /
, it will not throw error but i noticed that it didn't mount the directory.
