Binding volume to specific host path doesn't work

[abbaahmad]

I'm attempting to create a container with volume in some host path /home/ubuntu/data bound to a container path /mnt/data, but the volume is instead created and bound to var/lib/docker/vfs/<some-hash>/home/ubuntu/data. Is there something I might be missing here? Here is the related code-snippet

   _ = docker.containers.run(
        image=image.id,
        command=f"{args}",
        name=c.DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME,
        restart_policy={"Name": "always"},
        volumes={f"{c.DATADIR_PATH.as_posix()}": {"bind": "/mnt/data", "mode": "rw"}},
        ports={"5432": ("0.0.0.0", 5432), "5433": ("0.0.0.0", 5433)},
        detach=True,
    )

DATADIR_PATH=/home/ubuntu/data. One thing to note is DATADIR_PATH of of type Path from pathlib module
