I tried like this kishore$ docker -v /Users/kishore/main_folder:/test_container Docker version 0.9.1, build 867b2a9 kishore$ docker run -v /Users/kishore/main_folder:/test_container Usage: docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...] Run a command in a new container -P, --publish-all=false: Publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces -a, --attach=[]: Attach to stdin, stdout or stderr. -c, --cpu-shares=0: CPU shares (relative weight)

can you have both ADD . and -v volume mount at same time. using default app_dir if not specify a host mount?

@alexzg I don't think we can have only the first one be taken precedence. Also, I am not clear about your 2nd point default app_dir... host mount.. ?

This worked for me on mac os x with docker-machine and VirtualBox. One caveat I discovered by trial and error is that the host directory must be a full path and not a relative path.

ADD is actually not "mounting" it copies the file into the container persisting it inside.
