### Mounting External Drives

If you wish to mount an external drive to the Docker instance you may do so by adding an argument to the execution of the `start_docker.sh` script.

If, for example the data is stored on `X:/path/to/external/data/` where `X:/` is your external drive name, you will need to add:

```bash
bash start_docker.sh --external "/mnt/x/path/to/external/data"
```

`X:/` has to be swapped with `/mnt/x/` to be a valid path on WSL. In addition `--external` has a shorthand notation: `-e`.
```bash
bash start_docker.sh -e "/mnt/x/path/to/external/data"
```


### If you run into more Windows-specific issues

Please open an [issue](https://github.com/angelolab/ark-analysis/issues) on our GitHub page. Note that our codebase has not been extensively tested on Windows.
