Container fails to start with file mounting errors.
Container fails to start with “not a directory” errors. Files being mounted as directories instead of files. Configuration files not being read correctly.
Source files are directories instead of regular files when mounting in Docker.
Steps:
1. Check file type: `ls -la ~/folkzone-new/irc/` 2. Remove incorrectly created directories: `sudo rm -rf ~/folkzone-new/irc/config.yml` (if it's a directory) 3. Copy correct file: `cp correct/path/config.yml ~/folkzone-new/irc/config.yml` 4. Verify file is regular file: `file ~/folkzone-new/irc/config.yml` 5. Restart container: `docker compose up -d service-name`
Always verify file types before mounting. Use `file` command to check if a path is a file or directory.
