hello everyone, I'm new to meltano and docker. excuses for my stupid questions😀....but if I run on docker windows desktop: docker run --name Meltano -v $(pwd)/projects -w /projects meltano/meltano init my-meltano-project... Installation runs correctly, but I can not find the installaltion on $(pwd). Can someone help me in the right direction?

@stephan The value of your

-v

volume argument should be:

$(pwd):/projects

docker run --name Meltano -v $(pwd):/projects -w /projects meltano/meltano init my-meltano-project

That way you're mounting the current working directory into the container at

/projects

, which you're then also using as the working directory with

-w

. Right now, you're mounting

$(pwd)/projects

(the

projects

directory inside your working directory) inside the container at that same path (

$(pwd)/projects

), since no mapping is specified with

:

.

C:\Users\data>docker run --name Meltano -v $(pwd):/projects -w /projects meltano/meltano init my-meltano-project docker: Error response from daemon: create $(pwd): "$(pwd)" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path. See 'docker run --help'.

@stephan What shell are you running this on?

$(pwd)

will only work on bash-like shells, not Windows command.exe

hi Douwe, I went another way. installed linux. then I got it working well. thanks!
