Mount directories from a machine to your local host, using `sshfs`.
|
|
|
|
The notation is `machinename:/path/to/dir` for the argument; you can also supply an alternative mount point (default is the same dir path).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Consider the following example:
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
$ mkdir foo
|
|
$ docker-machine ssh dev mkdir foo
|
|
$ docker-machine mount dev:/home/docker/foo foo
|
|
$ touch foo/bar
|
|
$ docker-machine ssh dev ls foo
|
|
bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can use the directory on the machine, for mounting into containers.
|
|
Any changes done in the local directory, is reflected in the machine too.
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
$ eval $(docker-machine env dev)
|
|
$ docker run -v /home/docker/foo:/tmp/foo busybox ls /tmp/foo
|
|
bar
|
|
$ touch foo/baz
|
|
$ docker run -v /home/docker/foo:/tmp/foo busybox ls /tmp/foo
|
|
bar
|
|
baz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The files are actually being transferred using `sftp` (over an ssh connection),
|
|
so this program ("sftp") needs to be present on the machine - but it usually is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To unmount the directory again, you can use the same options but the `-u` flag.
|
|
You can also call `fuserunmount` (or `fusermount -u`) commands directly.
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
$ docker-machine mount -u dev:/home/docker/foo foo
|
|
$ rmdir foo
|
|
```
|
|
**Files are actually being stored on the machine, *not* on the host.**
|
|
So make sure to make a copy of any files you want to keep, before removing it!
