Question: Is it possible to create more than one shared folder? #20

Closed azizunsal closed 6 years ago

azizunsal commented 6 years ago

I think it is not possible to create multiple shared folder(/path/to/share_1 /path/to/share_2) in the current configuration. I wonder if there is some technical issues causing not to implement in that way.

By the way thank you for this Docker image.

Hey Aziz, thank you.

Yes, its possible and relatively simple. However, optionally accommodating a varying number of shared folders (possibly with differing parameters) for different user needs becomes complicated.

In the short term you could easily duplicate the first line of confd/tmpl/exports.tmpl and change SHARED_DIRECTORY to, for instance SHARED_DIRECTORY_2, rebuild the image and feed in the additional variable.

I will look into adding this to the code here, with the caveat that other variables around sync, read-only etc. will have to be the same for all shares.

Hi Steven, Thank you for your response. I will use your image because it's cleaner and readable when I compare it to the other existing NFS images. Maybe more advanced configurations can be added as you said.

Btw, I didn't notice that there was a closed issue for the same question. Sorry..

sjiveson commented 6 years ago

No problem, I'm hoping I can use confd to accommodate this while keeping it clean and simple for those that don't want it.

sjiveson commented 6 years ago

FYI, I've got to this and the work is in branch byebyeconfd (which also removed use of confd) - hope to be done soon.

Hey. I've made some changes to help support this, please see the latest README.
