How To Mount An NFS Share Into A Container #52

Closed peter197321 closed 4 years ago

Hello All,

is it possible to mount a docker container (crops/poky) as an NFS share? So I can boot up a machine using a bootable image that is created by crops/poky?

Hi @peter197321,

It's should be possible to do a complete network boot using PXE(or whatever a platform uses) in combination with NFS. However, I'm not sure how crops/poky impacts that ability.

If you want to boot using an NFS share, it shouldn't matter whether you use crops/poky to build the rootfs, or if you use the actual host. As long as the directory containing the rootfs is visible to the NFS server, crops/poky shouldn't have any impact.

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding your question.

You understood correctly :) Thanks a lot for suggestion. Yes, not need to attach docker container as NFS, it's OK actual host if rootfs visible.
