How to edit theme style in docker?

~# docker exec -it 9f3678b6218f /bin/bash OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/bin/bash": stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown

How can this be solved?

Did you follow the documentation for theming?

What I mean is to use the command docker exec -it 9f3678b6218f /bin/bash to enter the Docker instance and then modify the theme file.

Try docker-compose exec lemmy-ui sh, the container might not have bash. Also, any changes made this way will be gone after restart.

I want to map the /app/dist/assets/css/themes directory in the container to the host lemmy directory. Thereby, the theme file in the container can be modified on the host machine. Added the following code in docker-compose.yml:

 volumes:
   - ./volumes/lemmy-ui:/app/dist/assets/css/themes

After running the instance, no files appear in the host lemmy/volumes/lemmy-ui directory.

So, what should I do to map the /app/dist/assets/css/themes directory in the container to the host lemmy directory? ? ?

This is not the right way to develop themes, you should use the preconfigured themes folder.
