podman-volume-mount(1) General Commands Manual podman-volume-mount(1)
NAME
podman-volume-mount - Mount a volume filesystem
SYNOPSIS
podman volume mount [volume ...]
DESCRIPTION
Mounts the specified volumes' file system in a location which can be ac-
cessed from the host, and returns its location.
Rootless mode only supports mounting file volumes unless Podman is run
within the user namespace via the podman unshare command. All other vol-
ume types fail to mount.
RETURN VALUE
The location of the mounted file system. On error an empty string and
errno is returned.
EXAMPLE
Mount specified volume. As Root:
# podman volume mount foo
/home/dwalsh/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/foo/_data
In rootless mode, volume mounting only works after executing the podman
unshare command to enter the user namespace.
$ podman unshare
# podman volume mount foo
/home/dwalsh/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/foo/_data
