NAME

   containers-mounts.conf - configuration file for default mounts in containers

DESCRIPTION

   The mounts.conf file specifies volume mount directories that are automatically mounted inside containers. Container processes can then use this content. Usu
   ally these directories are used for passing secrets or credentials required by the package software to access remote package repositories. Note that for  se
   curity reasons, tools adhering to the mounts.conf are expected to copy the contents instead of bind mounting the paths from the host.

FORMAT

   The  format  of the mounts.conf is the volume format /SRC:/DEST, one mount per line. For example, a mounts.conf with the line /usr/share/secrets:/run/secrets
   would cause the contents of the /usr/share/secrets directory on the host to be mounted on the /run/secrets directory inside  the  container.  Setting  mount
   points allows containers to use the files of the host, for instance, to use the host's subscription to some enterprise Linux distribution.

FILES

   Some  distributions  may  provide  a /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf file to provide default mounts, but users can create a /etc/containers/mounts.conf, to
   specify their own special volumes to mount in the container. When Podman runs in rootless mode, the file $HOME/.config/containers/mounts.conf  will  override
   the default if it exists.
