Container processes can then use this content. The volume mount content does not get committed to the final image if you do a `podman commit`. + + Usually these directories are used for passing secrets or credentials required by the package software to access remote package repositories. + + For example, a mounts.conf with the line "`/usr/share/rhel/secrets:/run/secrets`", the content of `/usr/share/rhel/secrets` directory is mounted on `/run/secrets` inside the container. This mountpoint allows Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions from the host to be used within the container. + + The format of the mounts.conf is the volume format /SRC:/DEST, one mount per line. Users can create an `/etc/containers/mounts.conf`, to specify their own special volumes to mount in the container. Podman by default reads /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf and the /etc/containers/mounts.conf if it exists. + + Note this is not a volume mount. The content of the volumes is copied into container storage, not bind mounted directly from the host. + +**registries.conf** (`/etc/containers/registries.conf`) + + registries.conf is the configuration file which specifies which registries should be consulted when completing image names which do not include a registry or domain portion. + ## SEE ALSO -crio(8) +crio(8), storage.conf(5) ## HISTORY Dec 2016, Originally compiled by Dan Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com> |
