Docker Machine NFS

Requirements

• Docker Machine 0.5.0+

Mac OS X 10.9+

Activates NFS for an existing boot2docker box created through Docker Machine.

⚠️ There can be an issue with the NFS under Mac OS X High Sierra (see issue #79 for more info) ⚠️

Windows 10 with WSL

• Install WSL
• Install VirtualBox
• Setup Docker-machine for WSL
• Install haneWIN NFS server
• Install docker-machine-nfs
• Mount drives under root (e.g. /c) - Can be configured in /etc/wsl.conf - automount
• Tested with these attributes: docker-machine-nfs MACHINE-NAME --shared-folder=/c/Users/ --mount-opts="rw,vers=3,tcp,nolock,noacl,async"

Install

Homebrew

brew install docker-machine-nfs

Supports

Usage

• Create docker-machine as usual
• Run docker-machine-nfs

                       ##         .
                 ## ## ##        ==               _   _ _____ ____
              ## ## ## ## ##    ===              | \ | |  ___/ ___|
          /"""""""""""""""""\___/ ===            |  \| | |_  \___ \
     ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~     | |\  |  _|  ___) |
          \______ o           __/                |_| \_|_|   |____/
            \    \         __/
             \____\_______/


Usage: $ docker-machine-nfs <machine-name> [options]

Options:

  -f, --force               Force reconfiguration of nfs
  -n, --nfs-config          NFS configuration to use in /etc/exports. (default to '-alldirs -mapall=\$(id -u):\$(id -g)')
  -s, --shared-folder,...   Folder to share (default to /Users)
  -m, --mount-opts          NFS mount options (default to 'noacl,async')

Examples:

  $ docker-machine-nfs test

    > Configure the /Users folder with NFS

  $ docker-machine-nfs test --shared-folder=/Users --shared-folder=/var/www

    > Configures the /Users and /var/www folder with NFS

  $ docker-machine-nfs test --shared-folder=/var/www --nfs-config="-alldirs -maproot=0"

    > Configure the /var/www folder with NFS and the options '-alldirs -maproot=0'

  $ docker-machine-nfs test --mount-opts="noacl,async,nolock,nfsvers=3,udp,noatime,actimeo=1"

    > Configure the /User folder with NFS and specific mount options.

  $ docker-machine-nfs test --ip 192.168.1.12

    > docker-machine will connect to your host machine via this address

Troubleshooting

• Failed to mount on WSL

Allow following exe's in "Windows Firewall" or any other firewall software used
   Directory -- c:/Program Files/nfsd
   -  pmapd.exe
   -  nfssrv.exe
   -  nfsd.exe

Credits

• Heavily inspired by @mattes ruby version boot2docker-nfs.rb.
• @DzeryCZ added support for Windows with WSL
