    Image in nginx is Linux based so location mapping is little different then windows, use :/usr/share/nginx/html/. It uses forward slash rather then backward slash.

    Try

    docker run --name website -v C:UsersUSERDesktopwebsite:/usr/share/nginx/html -d -p 8080:80 nginx

    For the Windows path, use backslash and for the Linux path use forward slash. The $(xxx) notation you used is a Linux thing that takes the output of a command and puts it into the command. It’s often used with pwd where $(pwd) gets the current directory. You can do the same in Windows CMD with %cd%. In your case it would be

    docker run --name website -v %cd%:/usr/share/nginx/html -d -p 8080:80 nginx
