node_exporter: Can't run node_exporter docker on MacOs

I am using below command to run a node_export docker container on Mac.

docker run -d -p 9100:9100 \
  -v "/proc:/host/proc:ro" \
  -v "/sys:/host/sys:ro" \
  -v "/:/rootfs:ro" \
  --net="host" \
  quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter \
    -collector.procfs /host/proc \
    -collector.sysfs /host/sys \
    -collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points "^/(sys|proc|dev|host|etc)($|/)"

The container can be run but the port number 9100 is not listenning. Is there anything need to be configured on Mac? As I know, Mac doesn’t have /proc directory.

Here is the command that worked for me on Docker for Mac:

docker service create --name node \
 --mode global \
 --mount type=bind,source=/proc,target=/host/proc \
 --mount type=bind,source=/sys,target=/host/sys \
 --mount type=bind,source=/,target=/rootfs \
 --network prom \
 prom/node-exporter \
  --path.procfs /host/proc \
  --path.sysfs /host/sys \
  --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points "^/(sys|proc|dev|host|etc)($|/)"

prom is a separately created overlay network.
