boot2docker startup script to mount local shared folder with host

by

/var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh fits your need probably, it will be run by initial script /opt/bootscripts.sh

And bootscripts.sh will also put the output into the /var/log/bootlocal.log, see segment below (boot2docker 1.3.1 version)

# Allow local HD customisation
if [ -e /var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh ]; then
   /var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh > /var/log/bootlocal.log 2>&1 &
fi

One use case for me is

I usually put shared directory as /c/Users/larry/shared, then I add script

#/bin/bash
ln -s  /c/Users/larry/shared /home/docker/shared

So each time, I can access ~/shared in boot2docker as the same as in host
