Docker - Shared Drive (Windows)

Firewall

Shared drives require port 445 to be open between the host machine and the virtual machine that runs Linux containers.

Allow connections to 10.0.75.1 on port 445 (the Windows host) from 10.0.75.2 (the virtual machine).

I ended up by giving a trust to the adapter.

Settings

See Shared drives

Make your drive accessible to your containers.

• Docker > Settings > Shared Drive

Test it ! With the following, you should be able to navigate your c disk inside the container at the data mount point.

docker run --rm -it -v C::/data alpine sh

Example with my computer:

cd /data/
ls
