Mounting directory from host machine to container in Docker

How do I mount a directory from the host machine to a container in Docker?

Solution

  • Just as a final update, this feature is now released in Docker (though the API has changed since the pull request linked by @imiric).

    Simply use a command like

    docker run -v /tmp:/root myImage

    in order to mount /tmp from the host machine as /root within the image.
