Environment Information
@sigoden commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
Windows
.lnk(shortcut) files are not true symbolic links like those in Linux. They are more like references that tell Windows where to find a file or program but don’t function as actual filesystem-level links.Real Symlinks in Windows
Windows does support actual symbolic links, but they work differently from
.lnkfiles and require NTFS. You can create them using themklinkcommand:Unlike
.lnkfiles, real symlinks and hard links work at the filesystem level, so applications and scripts treat them as if they are the actual files.@danutzzzzz commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
@sigoden the symlink is in Linux using
ln -snot windows@sigoden commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
This is probably a docker problem.
Docker cannot handle links that point to files outside of the Docker filesystem.
