# Docker NFS, AWS EFS & Samba/CIFS Volume Plugin

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare) [![release](http://github-release-version.herokuapp.com/github/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare/release.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare/releases/latest)

Mount NFS v3/4, AWS EFS or CIFS inside your docker containers. This is a docker plugin which enables these volume types to be directly mounted within a container.

## NFS Prerequisites on Linux

NFS needs to be installed on Linux systems in order to properly mount NFS mounts.

- For Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install -y nfs-common`
- For RHEL/CentOS: `sudo yum install -y nfs-utils`

It is recommend to try mounting an NFS volume to eliminate any configuration issues prior to running the plugin:
```
sudo mount -t nfs4 1.1.1.1:/mountpoint /target/mount
```

## Installation

#### From Source

```
$ go get github.com/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare
$ go build
```

#### From Binaries

Binaries are available through GitHub releases. You can download the appropriate binary, package and version from the [Releases](https://github.com/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare/releases) page

#### On Ubuntu / Debian

The method below will install the sysvinit and /etc/default options that can be overwritten during service start.

1. Install the Package

```
$ wget https://github.com/ContainX/docker-volume-netshare/releases/download/v0.36/docker-volume-netshare_0.36_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i docker-volume-netshare_0.36_amd64.deb
```

2. Modify the startup options in `/etc/default/docker-volume-netshare`
3. Start the service `service docker-volume-netshare start`

## Usage

### Launching in NFS mode

**1. Run the plugin - can be added to systemd or run in the background**

```
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare nfs
```
**2. Run the plugin - adding the correct DOCKER_API_VERSION**
If you are not using the latest stable version of docker engine please specify the version with flag.
For example:
To check docker API version:
```
docker version
Client:
Version: 17.12.0-ce
API version: 1.35
Go version: go1.9.2
Git commit: c97c6d6
Built: Wed Dec 27 20:11:19 2017
OS/Arch: linux/amd64

Server:
Engine:
Version: 17.12.0-ce
API version: 1.35 (minimum version 1.12)
Go version: go1.9.2
Git commit: c97c6d6
Built: Wed Dec 27 20:09:53 2017
OS/Arch: linux/amd64
Experimental: false
```
Here the Docker API Version is 1.35. So you should start the plugin with the right version of Docker API.

Minimum supported version for the plugin is 1.12.

```
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare nfs -a 1.35
```

**2. Launch a container**

```
$ docker run -i -t --volume-driver=nfs -v nfshost/path:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
```

### Launching in EFS mode

**1. Run the plugin - can be added to systemd or run in the background**

```
// With File System ID resolution to AZ / Region URI
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare efs
// For VPCs without AWS DNS - using IP for Mount
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare efs --noresolve
```

**2. Launch a container**

```
// Launching a container using the EFS File System ID
$ docker run -i -t --volume-driver=efs -v fs-2324532:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
// Launching a container using the IP Address of the EFS mount point (--noresolve flag in plugin)
$ docker run -i -t --volume-driver=efs -v 10.2.3.1:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
```

### Launching in Samba/CIFS mode

#### Docker Version < 1.9.0

**1. Run the plugin - can be added to systemd or run in the background**

```
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare cifs --username user --password pass --domain domain --security security -a docker_api_version
```

**2. Launch a container**

```
// In CIFS the "//" is omitted and handled by netshare
$ docker run -it --volume-driver=cifs -v cifshost/share:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
```

##### .NetRC support

.NetRC is fully support eliminating users and passwords to be specified in step 1. To use .netrc do the following steps:

**1. Create a /root/.netrc file (since netshare needs to be run as a root user). Add the host and credential mappings.**

See example:

```
//.netrc
machine some_hostname
username jeremy
password somepass
domain optional
security optional
fileMode optional
dirMode optional
```

**2. Run the plugin**

```
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare cifs -a docker_api_version
```

**3. Launch a container**

```
// In CIFS the "//" is omitted and handled by netshare
$ docker run -it --volume-driver=cifs -v cifshost/share:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
```

#### Docker Version 1.9.0+

Docker 1.9.0 now has support for volume management. This allows you to user `docker volume create` to define a volume by name so
options and other info can be eliminated when running a container.

**1. Run the plugin - can be added to systemd or run in the background**

```
$ sudo docker-volume-netshare cifs -a docker_api_version
```

**2. Create a Volume**

This will create a new volume via the Docker daemon which will call `Create` in netshare passing in the corresponding user, pass and domain info.

```
$ docker volume create -d cifs --name cifshost/share --opt username=user --opt password=pass --opt domain=domain --opt security=security --opt fileMode=0777 --opt dirMode=0777
```

**3. Launch a container**

```
// cifs/share matches the volume as defined in Step #2 using docker volume create
$ docker run -it -v cifshost/share:/mount ubuntu /bin/bash
```

#### Security Option
Some CIFS servers may require a specific security mode to connect. The ``security`` option defines the ``sec`` option that is passed to ``mount.cifs``. [More information about available ``sec`` options](https://www.samba.org/~ab/output/htmldocs/manpages-3/mount.cifs.8.html).
e.g.: Apple Time Capsule's require the security mode ``ntlm``.
