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. Usually these directories are
   used for passing secrets or credentials required by the package software to access remote package repositories. Note that for security 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 mountpoints 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.
