6 containers-mounts.conf - configuration file for default mounts in
7 containers
8
11 The mounts.conf file specifies volume mount directories that are
12 automatically mounted inside containers. Container processes can then
13 use this content. Usually these directories are used for passing
14 secrets or credentials required by the package software to access
15 remote package repositories. Note that for security reasons, tools
16 adhering to the mounts.conf are expected to copy the contents instead
17 of bind mounting the paths from the host.

21 The format of the mounts.conf is the volume format /SRC:/DEST, one
22 mount per line. For example, a mounts.conf with the line
23 /usr/share/secrets:/run/secrets would cause the contents of the
24 /usr/share/secrets directory on the host to be mounted on the
25 /run/secrets directory inside the container. Setting mountpoints allows
26 containers to use the files of the host, for instance, to use the
27 host's subscription to some enterprise Linux distribution.
28
31 Some distributions may provide a /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf file
32 to provide default mounts, but users can create a
33 /etc/containers/mounts.conf, to specify their own special volumes to
34 mount in the container.
