Inspect the volumnes that docker compose creates
If you create a volume like this in docker compose file
volumes:
MONGO_DATA:
name: MONGO_DATA
MONGO_CONFIG:
name: MONGO_CONFIG
You can inspect it to see where its mounted on windows like this
[5.2][504][jacob@jakesbeastmech][/d/OtherProjects/Docker-Playground]
$docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local MONGO_CONFIG
local MONGO_DATA
[5.2][505][jacob@jakesbeastmech][/d/OtherProjects/Docker-Playground]
$docker volume MONGO_DATA
Usage: docker volume COMMAND
