How to set up your own OSRM backend with Docker on Windows

The OSRM docker quick start provides a great explanation on how to set up the container: https://hub.docker.com/r/osrm/osrm-backend/

Yet - for Docker on Windows minor changes were necessary for me (otherwise I'd get "File not found" or "Permission" errors).

This is how it worked for me:

# FCC's Census Block Conversions API
# http://www.fcc.gov/developers/census-block-conversions-api
latlong2fips <- function(latitude, longitude) {
  url <- "http://data.fcc.gov/api/block/find?format=json&latitude=%f&longitude=%f"
  url <- sprintf(url, latitude, longitude)
  json <- RCurl::getURL(url)
  json <- RJSONIO::fromJSON(json)
  as.character(json$County['FIPS'])
}
