I have being reviewing the docker engine SDK documentation related with running Docker with Golang (https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/sdk/) I would like to run a container(which is well documented) but I cannot find how can I mount a volume when running the container.
My idea is to use Docker SDK to run the equivalent command:
docker run -v $PWD:/tmp myimage
But without executing the Golang os exec library.
Is that possible?
The examples section has most of what you need:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/sdk/examples/#run-a-container
Important to remember that docker run ...
does both
and that docker run -v
is short hand for docker run --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,target=/app
resp, err := cli.ContainerCreate(ctx, &container.Config{
Image: "alpine",
Cmd: []string{"echo", "hello world",},
},
&container.HostConfig{
Mounts: []mount.Mount{
{
Type: mount.TypeBind,
Source: "/local/dir",
Target: "/app",
},
},
},
nil,
"",
)
If you want just a single file
resp, err := cli.ContainerCreate(ctx, &container.Config{
Image: "alpine",
Cmd: []string{"echo", "hello world",},
},
&container.HostConfig{
Binds: []string{
"/local/dir/file.txt:/app/file.txt",
},
},
nil,
"",
)
