docker run vs docker-compose - different results?

Question

I have just started exploring Docker and am having trouble with docker commit/-compose.

I have copied a file into /root/.guacamole/lib (in the container) and then created an image using docker commit.

An ls of the relevant path in the container using

docker run -it --name="name" image bash

confirms that the file exists, but when the following docker-compose file sets up the container, the file is missing, even though it reports using the same image.

Any idea why that should be?

Thanks

$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
  guacd:
    image: "guacamole/guacd"
    container_name: guacd
    hostname: guacd
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - "/data/shared/guacamole/guacd/data:/data"
      - "/data/shared/guacamole/guacd/conf:/conf:ro"
    expose:
      - "4822"
    ports:
      - "4822:4822"
    network_mode: bridge

  guac2:
    image: "guac2"
    container_name: guac2
    hostname: guac2
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - "/data/shared/guacamole/guacamole/guac-home:/data"
      - "/data/shared/guacamole/guacamole/conf:/conf:ro"
    expose:
      - "8080"
    ports:
      - "8084:8080"
    network_mode: bridge
    environment:
      - "GUACD_HOSTNAME=pc.lan"
      - "GUACD_PORT=4822"
      - "MYSQL_HOSTNAME=pc.lan"
      - "MYSQL_PORT=3306"
      - "MYSQL_DATABASE=guacamole_db"
      - "MYSQL_USER=guacamole_user"
      - "MYSQL_PASSWORD=password"
      - "GUACAMOLE_HOME=/data"

Here is the terminal text:

I'm a bit new to Docker as well, but are you 100% certain that you performed a Docker push and your commit of your docker image that you're building with composer? And you have matching versions on the remote and your local machine?

I'm also not seeing where you are mounting the '~/.guacamole/lib' path in your docker-compose.yml under volumes:
