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.

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