Nanobox manual mounting of codebase folder

Sometimes Nanobox will fail to mount the codebase of an app through the usual nanobox run command. This will lead to a constant loop of attempting to mount the codebase folder before Nanobox gives up after a few tries, despite entering the correct password. If you look at the logs, this will often be due to a host is down error.

This can often because the mount has not been correctly set. You can do this manually, by running net share as per:

https://github.com/nanobox-io/nanobox/blob/a512a85c181cab4ca454456a915bee5147796a8b/util/provider/share/share_windows.go#L81

The syntax is:

net share nanobox-[APP-ID]=C:/path/to/project" /unlimited /GRANT:%username%,FULL
  • [APP-ID] - Should be replaced by the nanobox app ID, this can be found by viewing the nanobox.log or using verbose/debug logs
  • C:/path/to/project - Replace with the path to your code folder on your machine
  • %username% - Is the username of the Windows account you are logged in with. You should be able to use this as an environment variable, rather than manually specifying your username.
