When working with containers, managing file sharing between the host system and container
|
|
can often pose a challenge. However, there is an easy-to-use solution that simplifies this
|
|
process using just one line of code! This blog post will guide you on how to share files
|
|
effortlessly by leveraging Incus's `incus config` command.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## The One Liner Solution:
|
|
|
|
If you're looking to share a specific directory containing your container data, here is the
|
|
one-liner syntax for adding the file source and path within the container configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
incus config device add <container> <device name> <device type> source=/<path/to/directory/> path=/<mount/point/in/container>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To give you a better understanding, let's look at an example. Suppose we have a container
|
|
named `container1` and want to share files located in the `/srv/movies` directory with a mount point of `/mnt/movies` within the container itself:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
incus config device add container1 movies disk source=/srv/movies path=/mnt/movies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Alternative Method for Advanced Users:
|
|
|
|
If you're feeling adventurous and want to directly edit the configuration, Incus provides
|
|
an alternative method. With this approach, you can leverage YAML syntax within your
|
|
container configuration file with `incus config edit <container>`. Here is how it works using our
|
|
previous example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dveices:
|
|
movies:
|
|
path: /mnt/movies
|
|
source: /srv/movies
|
|
type: disk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Happy hacking!
