Invalid login format in file when running from cli about dropout-dl HOT 3 CLOSED

The way I did it was adding a file called simply login (no extension) to the root of the repo. First line is email, second line is password, all in plain text. The sample command worked perfectly for me. I ran the command on Windows in Powershell, if that matters.

As a broader answer to your question, the -v $PWD/login:/app/login section of the run command means that you are mounting a volume from the host (e.g. your PC's file system) to the container. You're basically saying "I'm going to share this folder on PC with the container, and it will be readable and writable from within the container by referencing the path /app/login". So the program is going to be looking in /app/login internally for a file containing your login credentials, but it will really be looking at whatever path you specify on the left of the colon.

So what I did was create a file, just like you said, on my desktop and then just moved it into Docker Desktop, into the /app folder, that's why running it inside Docker Desktop showed a successfull login.

Turns out I was just stupid and didn't run my terminal from the same place I had the login file. So the container was looking for the login file in my Profile folder.

Thanks for your help!

No worries! Docker is a tricky beast.
