title: docker volumes in /var/www/html
body: <p>I would like to add a host computer directory into my docker container and replace the contents of the /var/www/html directory.</p>
  
  <p>Then I presume when I make edits to my code and refresh the browser I can see the results of changes to the website.</p>
  
  <p>Right?</p>
  
  <p>This is my command </p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run --name simplesite --link joomla_db:mysql -d -p 8080:80  -v '/C/Users/Matt/Documents/website:/var/www/html' httpd
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The inspect says this</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; "Mounts": [
  &gt;             {
  &gt;                 "Type": "bind",
  &gt;                 "Source": "/C/Users/Matt/Documents/website",
  &gt;                 "Destination": "/var/www/html",
  &gt;                 "Mode": "",
  &gt;                 "RW": true,
  &gt;                 "Propagation": "rprivate"
  &gt;             }
  &gt;         ],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I just don't see anything update.</p>
