On a Windows 10 system, I am trying to run a Docker containiner running geth which listens to port 8545. This docker-compose.yml has been tested to run perfectly on both Ubuntu and Mac OS X.
docker-compose version 1.21.1, build 7641a569 is being used on the Windows 10 system.
Problem: Docker throws an error after executing docker-compose up.
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: listen unix /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc: bind: operation not permitted
What might be causing this error, and how can we solve it?
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'

geth:
