MULTIPASS_MOUNTS
is a comma separated list of /absolute/local/path->/instance/path
.
- Relative instance path will be mounted in the
/home/devpod
directory.
- If instance path is omitted, the mount point will be the same as the local path. With the exception of windows, where it will be mounted in
/home/devpod
.
Examples:
/Users/minh/.aws->/home/devpod/.aws
: local path /Users/minh/.aws
mounts to instance path /home/devpod/.aws
/Users/minh/.aws->.aws
is the same as above
/Users/minh
: local path /Users/minh
mounts to instance path /Users/minh
C:\Users\minh
: local path C:\Users\minh
mounts to instance path /home/devpod/C:/Users/minh
The MULTIPASS_MOUNTS
option enable users to mount local path to devcontainer via the multipass instance.
For example, to mount user's local /Users/minh/.aws
directory to the devcontainer:
- Set
MULTIPASS_MOUNTS
=/Users/minh/.aws->/home/devpod/.aws
- Configure devcontainer mounts
