Bind mounts

Bind mounts allow binding a file or a directory and its contents from the parent host into an enclave. This page describes the steps required to setup a bind mount.

Set up the bind mount on the parent host. Using this example, we can bind the directory /home to the enclave:

# Set /home as the root bind directory
anjuna-fs-proxy --daemonize --anjunafs-rootdir /home

# Create a directory _enclave-data_ that we will bind to the enclave
mkdir -p /home/enclave-data

Create an enclave configuration file with that bind mount:

version: 1.6

# define volume mounts for this enclave
mounts:

# name of the bind mapping
# host must include a file or directory with the same name inside rootdir
- name: enclave-data

  # 'basic' is the bind mount type
  type: basic

  # path to mount to inside the enclave
  mountPath: /shared/enclave-data

Using this example, the host mounted the directory /home/enclave-data to /shared/enclave-data inside the enclave.
