How to mount a host directory in a Docker container

Question

I am trying to mount a host directory into a Docker container so that any updates done on the host is reflected into the Docker containers.

Where am I doing somethin

Answer 1

docker run -v /host/directory:/container/directory -t IMAGE-NAME /bin/bash

docker run -v /root/shareData:/home/shareData -t kylemanna/openvpn /bin/bash

In my system I've corrected the answer from nhjk, it works flawless when you add the -t flag.
