[solved] systemd-nspawn how to acces files from the host

sant527 · 2015-01-21 15:58:21

I have created a container called Mycontainer and installed the base using "pacstrap -i -c -d ~/MyContainer base"

Now i run "systemd-nspawn -bD ~/MyContainer" and login using root.

How to access the folder on my host. eg:/home/user/myfolder

Isn't systemd-nspawn a chroot and don't you typically use chroots to isolate parts of the system from each other? It really needs some more explanation as to why you would want to do this.

The only way I can think of quickly is setting up some sort of network share using NFS, SAMBA or maybe sshfs.

ANy easy way to access the host files from the container instead of NFS, samba etc. Like in sun virtualbox i can share a folder between host and guest.

Did you look at the man page of systemd-nspawnd? There is an option to bind mount a directory/file into the container.
