## Motivation
If you are here, then you are most likely looking for a simple solution to fuse multiple hard drives' contents to a single mountpoint using mergerfs and docker. There are multiple containers which dockerize mergerfs, however none are regularly updated, with open-sourced dockerfiles (no crypto-miners) and simple to use. This repository attempts to do just that. Simply mount your hard drives as volumes to ```/disks``` and mergerfs will make them available under ```/merged```. Exposing the ```/merged``` volume to host, you need to use ```:shared``` bind to share it between the container and host. Change the volume path on the host to your prefered location and that's it!

## How to run it
Docker run:
```bash
docker run -v /mnt/nd1:/disks/nd1 -v /mnt/nd2:/disks/nd2 -v /mnt/nd3:/disks/nd3 -v /mnt/merged:/merged:shared --device /dev/fuse --cap-add SYS_ADMIN -d hvalev/mergerfs
```
docker-compose:
```yaml
services:
mergerfs:
image: hvalev/mergerfs:latest
container_name: mergerfs
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
devices:
- /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse
volumes:
- /mnt/nd1:/disks/nd1
- /mnt/nd2:/disks/nd2
- /mnt/nd3:/disks/nd3
- /mnt/merged:/merged:shared
restart: always
```

## Customizing
* If you would like to customize the mergerfs command with additional options, you can overwrite `parameters.conf` with your own using an additional volume mount that maps onto `/config` inside the docker. You can use the one in the repo as a template.
* You can also override the default `mergerfs` parameters by using the `MERGERFS_PARAMS` environment variable as follows:
```yaml
services:
mergerfs:
image: hvalev/mergerfs:latest
container_name: mergerfs
environment:
MERGERFS_PARAMS: 'moveonenospc=true,dropcacheonclose=true,category.create=mfs,cache.files=partial'
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
devices:
- /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse
volumes:
- /mnt/nd1:/disks/nd1
- /mnt/nd2:/disks/nd2
- /mnt/nd3:/disks/nd3
- /mnt/merged:/merged:shared
restart: always
```
* If you would like to combine this with samba to share it over the network, you could also use a samba docker container. Below is an example with a sample user read-write and guest read-only access.
```yaml
services:
mergerfs:
image: hvalev/mergerfs:latest
container_name: mergerfs
environment:
MERGERFS_PARAMS: 'moveonenospc=true,dropcacheonclose=true,category.create=mfs,cache.files=partial'
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
devices:
- /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse
volumes:
- /mnt/hd1:/disks/hd1
- /mnt/hd2:/disks/hd2
- /mnt/hd3:/disks/hd3
- /mnt/hd:/merged:shared
restart: always

samba:
image: elswork/samba:3.2.8
container_name: samba
environment:
TZ: 'Europe/Amsterdam'
ports:
- 139:139
- 445:445
volumes:
- /mnt/hd:/mnt/hd
command: '-u "1000:1000:user:user:user_password"
-u "1000:1000:guest:guest:guest_password"
-s "hd:/mnt/hd:rw:user"
-s "media:/mnt/hd:ro:guest"'
restart: unless-stopped
depends_on:
- mergerfs
```
