Accessing artefacts within a Windows file share (domain) from Docker container
Comment
1 / 1
To access artifacts within a Windows file share (domain) from a Docker container, you can use the following steps:
Share the Windows folder:
- Ensure that the Windows folder containing the artifacts is shared on the network.
- Right-click on the folder, select "Properties," and go to the "Sharing" tab.
- Click on "Advanced Sharing" and enable sharing for the folder.
- Set the share name and configure the appropriate permissions for access.
Mount the file share in the Docker container:
- Start by creating a Docker volume to mount the file share. Open a command prompt or terminal.
- Run the following command to create the Docker volume:
Replacephpdocker volume create --driver local --opt type=cifs --opt o=username=<username>,password=<password>,domain=<domain>,vers=<SMB-version> --opt device=//<file-share-host>/<share-name> volume-name
<username>
,<password>
,<domain>
,<SMB-version>
,<file-share-host>
,<share-name>
, andvolume-name
with the appropriate values. - This command creates a Docker volume using the CIFS driver and specifies the necessary credentials and connection details for accessing the file share.
Mount the Docker volume in a container:
- When running a Docker container, you can mount the previously created volume using the
--mount
flag. - Run the Docker container with the following command:
Replacearduinodocker run --mount source=volume-name,target=/mount-path container-image
volume-name
with the name of the Docker volume created in step 2,/mount-path
with the path within the container where you want to mount the file share, andcontainer-image
with the image name or ID of the Docker container you are running.
- When running a Docker container, you can mount the previously created volume using the
Access the artifacts within the Docker container:
- Once the Docker container is running, you can access the artifacts within the mounted file share by referring to the mount path specified in the previous step.
- In your application or script within the Docker container, use the mount path to access the artifacts as if they were local files.
By following these steps, you can mount a Windows file share within a Docker container and access the artifacts within the container. Ensure that you have the necessary credentials and permissions to access the file share. Additionally, adjust the commands and options according to your specific environment and requirements.
