Docker add network drive as volume on windows

by

My colleague came up with this and it works with our company network drive and it might help someone out there.

We start by creating a docker volume named mydockervolume.

docker volume create --driver local --opt type=cifs --opt device=//networkdrive-ip/Folder --opt o=user=yourusername,domain=yourdomain,password=yourpassword mydockervolume
  • --driver specifies the volume driver name
  • --opt Sets driver specific options. I guess they are given to the linux mount command when the container starts up.

We can then test that the volume works with
docker run -v mydockervolume:/data alpine ls /data

Here you can read more about driver specific options and docker volume create
