Trial 1

• First approach was to use the "-v" when running a container to mount a folder on the container.
  
• This did not work due to "Firewall" issues

Trial 2

The idea is to create a container which stores the data that needs to be shared with the container

• Create a data container

docker create -v /shared_data --name dataContainer busybox

• Copy data to the container

docker cp test.csv dataContainer:/shared_data/

• Run the intended container with the argument --volumes-from pointing at the name of the data container

docker run --rm --volumes-from dataContainer -p 8787:8787 mabolfadl/rstudio_libs:v1
