[Python] Python cannot use bind mounted files in Docker

There is my simplified code that causes problems

env_path = "resources/.env"
if os.path.exists(env_path):
load_dotenv(env_path)
else:
raise ResourcesMissing('.env missing')

tg_token_env = "resources/tg_token.env"
if os.path.exists(tg_token_env):
load_dotenv(tg_token_env)
else:
raise ResourcesMissing('tg_token.env missing')


This code raises exception in docker but works fine on my win pc

docker-compose.yml

services:
bot:
build: .
volumes:
- ./media:/app/media:ro
- ./resources:/app/resources:rw


Dockerfile

FROM python:3.13.5-slim
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
ENV CONTAINER=docker

RUN mkdir -p /app/media
RUN mkdir -p /app/resources

RUN apt-get update
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
COPY . .

[Installing dependencies]

CMD ["python", "bot.py"]


also i have .dockerignore file

media/*
resources/*
