How do I mount a host directory as a volume in docker compose

by

Checkout their documentation

From the looks of it you could do the following on your docker-compose.yml

volumes:
    - ./:/app

Where ./ is the host directory, and /app is the target directory for the containers.

EDIT:
Previous documentation source now leads to version history, you’ll have to select the version of compose you’re using and look for the reference.

For the lazy – v3 / v2 / v1

Side note: Syntax remains the same for all versions as of this edit
