Mounting Volume in DockerFile on Windows - spring-boot

Question

I am working on a Springboot project with docker. I tried to mount volume so I could have access to generated files from the Springboot application in my local directory. The data is generated in the docker container but I can not find it the local directory.
I have read many topics but none seems to be helpful.
Please, I am still new to docker and would appreciate suggestions to assist.
I have tried to mount the volume directly in the dockerfile as there is a docker compose file to run the service alongside others. Below is what I have in my Dockerfile and docker-compose
Dockerfile
FROM iron/java:1.8
EXPOSE 8080
ENV USER_NAME myprofile
ENV APP_HOME /home/$USER_NAME/app
#Test Script>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#Modifiable
ENV SQL_SCRIPT $APP_HOME/SCRIPTS_TO_RUN
ENV SQL_OUTPUT_FILE $SQL_SCRIPT/data
ENV NO_OF_USERS 3
ENV RANGE_OF_SKILLS "1-4"
ENV HOST_PATH C:"/Users/user1/IdeaProjects/path/logs"
#>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
RUN adduser -S $USER_NAME
RUN mkdir $APP_HOME
RUN mkdir $SQL_SCRIPT
RUN chown $USER_NAME $SQL_SCRIPT
VOLUME $HOST_PATH: $SQL_SCRIPT
ADD myprofile-*.jar $APP_HOME/myprofile.jar
RUN chown $USER_NAME $APP_HOME/myprofile.jar
USER $USER_NAME
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
RUN sh -c 'touch myprofile.jar'
ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "-c","java -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -jar myprofile.jar -o $SQL_OUTPUT_FILE -n $NO_OF_USERS -r $RANGE_OF_SKILLS"]
Docker-compose
myprofile-backend:
extra_hosts:
- remotehost
container_name: samplecontainer-name
image: sampleimagename
links:
- rabbitmq
- db:redis
expose:
- "8080"
ports:
- "8082:8080"
volumes:
- ./logs/:/tmp/logs
- ./logs/:/app

Answer 1

The problem here is that you are mounting the same folder ./logs twice. Docker-compose volume mount syntax is - <your-host-path>:<your-container-path>. Also, its better to use relative paths when you are building the application. So change docker-compose file to (assuming you want to see the files in ./target relative to the Dockerfile:
myprofile-backend:
extra_hosts:
- remotehost
container_name: samplecontainer-name
image: sampleimagename
links:
- rabbitmq
- db:redis
expose:
- "8080"
ports:
- "8082:8080"
volumes:
- ./logs/:/tmp/logs
- ./target/:/app
