Add clarification around Docker Volume mounts #6

@javaplus

Description

@javaplus

When running this command :
docker run --rm -it -v C:\Users<username>.kube:/root/.kube bash

I found that if I ran it in gitbash it wouldn't properly mount my .kube directory…. The container would start, but if I ran the watch command, I'd get an error about it not being able to connect to localhost:8080

If I tried using unix based paths (eg: /c/users//.kube/ ), it would give errors as well. Wouldn't start the container.

When I used a windows command prompt it worked, but I got prompted by docker desktop to share the folder… had to do a local login.

So, I suggest we tell windows users to do it in the command prompt or powershell and expect Docker Desktop to ask you permission to share your hard drive.
