I have successfully created a Windows Docker Image and I can successfully run the container with docker-compose, for full functionality the application expects a folder location to exist, which is currently a NFS attached drive that contains a folder inside it that the application reads and writes to and is also used by other applications.

I have tried to find valid examples and documentation on Docker for Windows, Windows Containers and Docker Compose for Volumes that are NFS.

This is what I am currently trying

version: "3.4" services: service: build: context: . dockerfile: ./Dockerfile image: imageName ports: - 8085:80 environment: - volumes: - type: volume source: nfs_example target: C:\example volume: nocopy: true volumes: nfs_example: driver: local driver_opts: type: "nfs" o: "addr=\\fileserver.domain,nolock,soft,rw" device: ":\\Shared\\Folder"

The error message I get is:

ERROR: create service_nfs_example: options are not supported on this platform

NFS doesn't work.I solved it using SMB on the host, then mounted that volume.

New-SmbGlobalMapping -RemotePath \\contosofileserver\share1 -Credential Get-Credentials -LocalPath G: 
version: "3.4" services: service: build: context: . dockerfile: ./Dockerfile image: imageName ports: - 8085:80 environment: - volumes: - type: bind source: G:\share1 target: C:\inside\container

This microsoft documentation on the windows containers helped me achieve this.

I was going to praise you... But then I got this error: Error response from daemon: hcsshim::CreateComputeSystem 19aeae670260b165dc94ef170bc8d141a1e735d163768cc7d55846693a9fffcf: The request is not supported. I'm desperate to make this work...
