I was trying to setup Besu private network using this tutorial .

Steps to reproduce :

1. Pulled code in vs code.
2. ran docker-compose up

My Environment (Windows).

Error faced : Error response from daemon: error while mounting volume '/var/lib/docker/volumes/besu-qbft-docker_validator1-data/_data': failed to mount local volume: mount /data/validator1:/var/lib/docker/volumes/besu-qbft-docker_validator1-data/_data, flags: 0x1000, data: nolock,soft,uid=1000,gid=1000: no such file or directory

Same steps as mentioned in the tutorial and expected same outcome.

• docker
• docker-compose

The docker-compose file is misconfigured. The $PWD is meant to represent the current working directory, but should be surrounded by brackets. Change each relevant line under the volumes: section to be as such:

${PWD}/${VALIDATOR1_DATA_PATH}

Then try running docker compose up from the root of the directory again!
