I have been following this [guide](https://docs.mender.io/system-updates-debian-family/convert-a-mender-debian-image) to convert a custom piOS image into a mender artifact. I have built the docker container to run mender-convert. After I run the container i get this output error from docker:

**/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: 21: cd: can’t cd to /mender-convert**

Do i need to mount the container to the directory requested?

Hi @batesenergy,

This is the first time I see this error. Can you share your exact commands? My guessing is you are prepending a “/” in some point. Can you double-check the steps described in the repository? [GitHub - mendersoftware/mender-convert: An easy way to integrate the Mender client into an existing image](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert)

Regards,  
Luis

@lramirez I tried the script on my ubuntu workstation and all worked well. It looks like the script fails when running on my mac?
