Hi @Zicchio , we can remove the localtime mount in docker-compose.yml because this work is executed in the docker build, dockerfile line 21-25

RUN apk update
RUN apk add --update --no-cache tzdata
RUN cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime
RUN echo "Europe/Rome" > /etc/timezone
RUN apk del tzdata

@peppelinux , if we don't remove the tzdata package, we can set the timezone with TZ environment, is an "alpine" feature

...but also is so bad UTC? 🤯

A question, are static volumes still necessary?
I know, for a remote orchestrated container is a necessary choice, but in this case run-docker-compose.sh script is not useful.
Otherwise in a local container istance, have a static mount or a local mount is not different.

If manage the static mount is a problemi with WSL, if we should maintain a mixed mount system (some local and some static), we could turn back with the local mount. We can create the requested directory in Docker-compose path (mongodata for the db, satosa for satosa container file and django_sp for django_sp container file)

At this point the script become a simple utility that copy the example file from the repository directory to the container volume path.

All mount are management with same mode, more simplicity for developers and admins. I'm a old poor person and like the simply life 👴
What do you think?

If is useful I can make a example pull request, It wouldn't take me long.

Removing the docker volume and using a shared folder could still be a problem for Windows hosts due to this issue docker-library/mongo#232 (comment), that has as a workaround using an external docker volume as suggested here docker-library/mongo#74 (comment)
