docker - jwilder/nginx-proxy, container create issue

Question

After updating dockeron Version 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762), jwilder/nginx-proxy doesn't running.

i'm currently working on WINDOWS 10 and DOCKER VERSION:18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762). And Here is my docker Compose file.

version: "3.1"

services:

  #docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock jwilder/nginx-proxy  
  proxy-server:
    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
    container_name: proxy-server
    ports: 
      - 80:80
    volumes: 
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock
    networks:
      - development_network

and the error is:

ERROR: for proxy-server Cannot create container for service proxy-server: b'Mount denied:\nThe source path "\\var\\run\\docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock"\nis not a valid Windows path' ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

I found a workaround, I created .env file in the same directory with docker compose yaml file and I included this line in the file:

COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1

I had the same issue and adding COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1 to my .env file works as a temp fix – Addshore Apr 03 '18 at 12:26

Can you try removing volumes section or give a location as per your host windows machine.

/var/run/docker.sock location will not be present in your windows system.

either use .:/tmp/docker.sock or specify something like d:/test:/tmp/docker.sock where test folder should exist in the d drive.

removing volumes section doesn't work and i am not sure about the location. the volume section says /var/run/docker.sock but i don't sure where is the path in windows. – Hasan Hafiz Pasha Mar 27 '18 at 08:34
`/var/run/docker.sock` will not be present in your windows system – kakabali Mar 27 '18 at 08:45
