Running a Docker image command in a mounted folder

Question

I'm trying to execute `lein run` in a Clojure Docker image out of a mounted folder that is not `/`, but when I try to `cd` into a folder, Docker complains with `unable to locate cd`: ``` docker run -v /root/chortles:/test -i jphackworth/docker-clojure cd /test && lein run => Unable to locate cd ``` How do I instruct Leiningen to run in a different folder, or tell Docker to change the directory prior to running my command?

Accepted Answer

You can use `-w` param for `docker run`. This parameter is useful for specifying working directory within container.

```
docker run -w /test -v /root/chortles:/test -i jphackworth/docker-clojure lein run
```
