dockerlinuxredis

I have search for a similar problem as mine but haven't found a good solution for it. I'm trying to set up my enviroment.

The first thing we have to set up is an portainer
docker run -d -p 9000:9000 portainer/portainer

Then we trying to set up Redis
docker pull redis

start docker container
docker run -d –name redis1 -v C:\Users\xxx\docker\redis.conf:/etc/redis.conf -p 6379:6379 redis:latest

but reciving this:

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: Error
response from daemon: error while creating mount source path
'/host_mnt/c/Users/xxx/docker/redis.conf': mkdir
/host_mnt/c/Users/xxx: permission denied.

I have giving the share permission to my computer and I'm a administrator on it as well. What I'm doing wrong?

I have found a fix it is to create a new users account which is the same username as your AzureAD account, but without the AzureAD prefix. Now it's working!
