Test docker on Windows 8.1

I'm studying docker and I'm a beginner.
I can not configure httpd on my operating system.
For my exercise I have to use the dockerfile.
I would like to place the html files inside this folder:
C : \ Users \ MyName \ Desktop \ docker \ htdocs
My dockerfile is present in this folder:
C : \ Users \ MyName \ Desktop \ docker \ apache_server
The code I use is this:

FROM httpd:2.4
LABEL Author="Nome Cognome"
EXPOSE 80
COPY ./htdocs/ /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/

Why do I get this error?

This is not a Windows or a Dockers forum. This forum is for support of Unraid. Do you have any interest in Unraid?

 

I doubt anyone here is going to take any interest in your homework.😉

Can not you help me anyway?
I am a student, a beginner.
you are very experienced with docker. I saw what you write.
my question is much simpler than what I see on this forum.

Probably not many here experienced with docker in Windows, since Unraid is a Linux OS. please take your questions to a Windows or docker forum.

I had developed my dockers over a year ago in WinOS and never had any issues like you're having, so I cant help you at all, except to say that doesnt seem typical at all.

 

Try using a non-special directory like "c:\docker\" instead of putting it on your desktop or documents.

I already wrote a post on the forum of docker and I received a very kind reply but now my account is no longer usable. I read "Account temporarily on hold" but I do not understand why. I have not written messages that go against the rules, I have not received reproaches for what I wrote and I clicked on the activation email.

If I put the docker folder in C I get this:

PS C:\docker> docker build -t apache_server:v1 .
unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: GetFileAttributesEx C:\docker\Dockerfile: The
 system cannot find the file specified.
PS C:\docker>

I'm afraid I wrote the wrong URLs. Do you confirm that URLs of the dockerfile and the commands I write in the CLI shel are correct?

Thanks for all

 

 

 

 

The dockerfile has started and now works. I had a problem with the PC.
But now I have this problem:

do you have any idea?
