Volumes not mounting with docker-compose on docker toolbox for windows

I initially configured my docker setup for Docker for Windows. Everything worked great. I'm using docker-compose to define 3 containers, each of which have a volume being mapped from my ./src (path on host) to /src/ (path on container).

I recently found out that the production server might have Windows 10 Home, which doesn't support Docker for Windows. So, my thinking is that I should revert to docker toolbox to be prepared for that scenario.

So I uninstalled Docker for Windows and installed Docker toolbox. I can build my images with docker-compose build just fine, but now when I run docker compose up -d, 2 of my containers immediately crash because the /src/ directory never gets mounted.

I can verify that the volumes are not getting mounted by running docker exec -it ng01 bash and seeing that the volume directory exists but is empty. 2 of my co-workers can reproduce this issue on their windows machines with docker toolbox.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to get around it? I've been looking at a bunch of similar SO posts, but the various solutions have gotten me nowhere. I would appreciate some guidance.

Here is my docker-compose file.

I have my source code in src/.

I have my Dockerfiles in docker/

Here is hotloader.Dockerfile. Here is web.Dockerfile. I don't think they are the issue, but I might as well share them anyways.

Thank you in advance!

Docker Toolbox for Windows works by setting up a VirtualBox VM named default. Running any docker command forwards that command to the VM (Windows Machine → Virtual Machine → Docker). To mount local Windows folders as Docker volumes, those folders first need to be shared and mounted on the VM that is running Docker. By default, C:\Users is shared, so mounting volumes from that location will work without any configuration.

So you can either move your project on this already shared location(C:\Users) or you can follow the steps in this document https://headsigned.com/posts/mounting-docker-volumes-with-docker-toolbox-for-windows/

Hope this helps! :)
