When creating a container, you can specify paths to be mounted with tmpfs using the tmpfs
argument to create_host_config
, similarly to the --tmpfs
argument to docker run
.
This capability is supported in Docker Engine 1.10 and up.
tmpfs
can be either a list or a dictionary. If it's a list, each item is a string specifying the path and (optionally) any configuration for the mount:
client.create_container( 'busybox', 'ls', host_config=client.create_host_config(tmpfs=[ '/mnt/vol2', '/mnt/vol1:size=3G,uid=1000' ]) )
Alternatively, if it's a dictionary, each key is a path and each value contains the mount options:
client.create_container( 'busybox', 'ls', host_config=client.create_host_config(tmpfs={ '/mnt/vol2': '', '/mnt/vol1': 'size=3G,uid=1000' }) )
