Problem mounting existing folders as connected

Expected Behaviour

Connected file share folder mounted and working as proposed to the documentation.

Current Behaviour

Hello newbie here. I installed cvat release 1.70 and also tried 1.6.0, but there is one serious problem.
I cannot access connected file share. I have followed the example of
the manual: https://openvinotoolkit.github.io/cvat/docs/administration/basics/installation/#share-path
and I created the file docker-compose.override.yml for binding an existing folder and also creating a volume and mounting it as external. Both volumes are not empty, but populated with image files. In both cases when I login into the container, using "docker exec" command, I can see the existing files I have in both volumes with success, but cvat refuses to display them into the tab. It still shows the message: "No Data
Please, be sure you had mounted share before you built CVAT and the shared storage contains files".
I have to say that I've checked the permissions of the folders and the files, and the owner is the superuser of cvat (default: "django"). I have also searched into the issues section in github but no solution until now.

Steps for reproduction:
I create the docker-compose.override.yml and start the container.

I invoke docker-compose for starting the container with the command:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up

My docker- compose.override.yml file:

#docker-compose.override.yml
version: "3.3"
services:
cvat:
environment:
CVAT_SHARE_URL: "Here we share!"
volumes:

• cvat_share:/home/django/my_shared_folder:ro # external
• cvat_shared:/home/django/sharedfiles:ro # binded folder
  volumes:
  cvat_share:
  external: true
  cvat_shared:
  driver_opts:
  type: none
  device: /home/myuser/cvat_shared/
  o: bind

System Information:
My system is a Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. My docker version is Community 20.10.4 . i don't use Docker Swarm.
My linux kernel is 5.11.0-40-generic.
The output of git log -1 is:
commit 2bb8643 (HEAD -> release-1.7.0, origin/release-1.7.0)

There is no error logs concerning volumes in cvat container. Docker mounts them correctly.

Possible Solution

Fix the bug or modify the documentation.

@jstefanis Hi, it looks like your configuration is wrong:

cvat_shared:/home/django/sharedfiles:ro

container path must be /home/django/share. If you want to mount 2 volumes try to use /home/django/share/my_shared_folder and /home/django/share/sharedfiles.

Hello.
You are right. It finally worked!
The connected folders can be mounted under "/home/django/share/" to be available.
I think that it is not really clear in the documentation and a newbie could make mistakes.
Thank you for your time.
