[OpenFOAM.com] Working directory with docker question

KTG · May 21, 2016, 02:55

Hi all,

I used these instructions http://openfoam.com/download/install-binary.php to install openFOAM+ with docker on a machine running korora (a mostly fedora distro with some non-free stuff). The instructions say that docker should mount to the user's home directory. However, when I run the startopenFOAM script as a normal user, it puts me in the /root directory. I have been looking at the docker documentation, and am totally lost. If anyone knows how to change this behavior, please let me know.

Thanks in advance-

It seems that I ran the install script as superuser... So I re-installed it and now it directs to my home.
