How to `docker-compose run` outside the working directory

Suppose I have the following dockerfile:

FROM node:alpine
    
WORKDIR /src/mydir

Now, suppose I want to run docker-compose from the src/ folder as opposed to src/mydir as happens by default.

I tried the following:

docker-compose run my_container ../ my-task

However the above failed.

Any guidance is much appreciated!

You want to use the --workdir (or -w) option of the docker-compose run command.

See the official documentation of the command here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/run/

For instance, given your above example:

docker-compose run my_container -w /src my-task
