-**Note**: Turns out there is no cross-platform way to specify a relative path with a bind mount [Docker CLI Issue 1203](https://github.com/docker/cli/issues/1203).  You may need to replace $(pwd) with the absolute path (or perhaps %cd% on Windows).  This problem is only with "docker run"; Docker compose doesn't have this issue.

 **Note**: Docker security measures may prevent bind mounts.  On Windows for example you must navigate to Settings > File Sharing then authorize the directory to mount.
