Location of bind-mount volume provided in docker-compose file of mongodb

How to see the location of bind-mount volume provided in the docker-compose yml file. I have created an bind-mount to persist the mongodb. It is working fine i.e. if container is shut, then also the data is present, but I want to know where is this location present in my computer.

version : "3"
services:
eswmongodb:
  image: mongo:latest
  container_name: mongocont
  ports:
    - "27017:27017"
  volumes:
    - "~/mongo/db:/data/db"

There would be no way for you to know this unless you've already found it stored on the host.

The location is what you've given - ~/mongo/db. Open a terminal and cd to the path

Keep in mind that in Windows, ~ is a special character and is sometimes hidden in the file explorer. If you're using it to get to your User folder, you should prefer using environment variables instead https://superuser.com/questions/332871/what-is-the-equivalent-of-linuxs-tilde-in-windows
