docker toolbox mount file on windows

Question

I am a beginner with docker and I am using a windows machine. But I have a problem mounting files using volumes. The documentation says the following thing about mount files

Answer 1

Try to run it with additional / for volume like:

docker run -d --name simple2 -v /c/Users/src://usr/share/nginx/html -p 8082:80 ng1

Or even for host OS, as

docker run -d --name simple2 -v //c/Users/src://usr/share/nginx/html -p 8082:80 ng1

Due to this issue:

This is something that the MSYS environment does to map POSIX paths to Windows paths before passing them to executables.
