docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: invalid mount

I came across this issue today while running hyperledger fabric on windows OS, it seems to be a mounting issue. The error went away when I ran the below command on git bash.

export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1

Firstly you must open up the command prompt (powershell/cmd) at your working directory, if feedback is your working directory open up the cmd at feedback and then, in windows, in the powershell/cmd use: docker run -p (localhost port):(container port) -v %cd%:/app instead of $(pwd) use %cd% it worked for me. I probably think the issue is with gitbash, you could use powershell instead, I came across the exact same problem just now and gitbash gave the exact same error.

I got a permanent fix for windows, docker volumes has an issue in windows https://forums.docker.com/t/volume-mounts-in-windows-does-not-work/10693/7. So we could use: docker run -p 8080:3000 -v /app/node_modules -v //d/Desktop/Docker/react-app/front-end:/app if your files where in c drive use //c/Desktop/Docker/react-app/front-end:/app instead of //d/Desktop/Docker/react-app/front-end:/app And yeah remember to use powershell not gitbash it also has an issue. If your using a react application make sure that you have .env file with CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true

Also, be sure you are running the docker command in the same folder where the docker-compose.yml lives. Otherwise, the docker command can execute fine until it reaches the point where it loads the volume and then trying to access the relative path might cause it to throw the above error.
