I want to mount current host dir to /var/www in container.

Dockerfile:

FROM php:8.0.0-fpm-alpine3.12
WORKDIR /var/www    
CMD ["php", "-S", "0.0.0.0:80", "-t", "/var/www"]

docker build -t test .
docker run -d -v $(pwd):/var/www -p 80:80 test

docker inspect shows that it's mounted:

"Mounts": [
            {
                "Type": "bind",
                "Source": "/library/webserver/documents/test",
                "Destination": "/var/www",
                "Mode": "",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": "rprivate"
            }
        ],

/library/webserver/documents/test is between shared dir's in Docker Desktop preferences, but host files are not visible from container and vice versa. Why it's not working? Thanks

Maybe docker process don't have rights to /library/... Try `docker run --privileged=true -d -v $(pwd):/var/www -p 80:80 test` but it not for production. – Mihal By Dec 25 '20 at 21:04
nope, the same:/ – user12274258 Dec 25 '20 at 21:14
You try to run php build-in server based on alpine image. I don't known it is correct or no. Maybe try other base. – Mihal By Dec 26 '20 at 07:21
I checkd alpine based for build-in server. It is correct. Inspect /var/www inside of container `docker exec -it container_name ash ` – Mihal By Dec 26 '20 at 07:28
it's not an issue, mounting doesn't work with other images too.. – user12274258 Dec 26 '20 at 08:13
what operating system? I think $pwd works only in linux and mac. – Mihal By Dec 26 '20 at 08:19

os is mac, so $pwd should work – user12274258 Dec 26 '20 at 08:40
Last chance [osxfs in dd](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55667800/mac-docker-volume-mount-using-osxfs-not-working) – Mihal By Dec 26 '20 at 15:14
mounting works with docker compose – user12274258 Dec 27 '20 at 15:40
