Mount shared drives or folders in docker or any other linux (windows).md

Mounting smartly

Use clear command to get the cursor at top of screen in docker vm. Know more about mount.cifs in docs. Yikes!!

# DO REMEMBER TO CHANGE PASSWORD WITH YOUR LATEST VERSION OF PASSWORD, YIKES!!!
# Do change the ip address in the ~/mount_script if you have your host pc's ip changed.
# PRO TIP: Use cmd(admin), and use `docker-machine ssh manager1` to connect to docker-vm, Its handy!
wget https://tinyurl.com/uiui8ui -O ~/mount_script #UPDATED RIGHTLY ON: 22JAN,2021.
chmod a+wrx ~/mount_script # To make it execuatble for all users.
~/mount_script

#With one line it works as:
wget -O - https://tinyurl.com/uiui8ui | bash #But it won't work coz password is not correct, yo!

• Note if you don't use(already added in below scrip though) cache=none option then deafult option i.e., cache=strict will be used and thus chaning file won't be refleted every time in machine. Using cache=none, is just awesomely tells not to cache at any cost.

• For viewing mout details: Use mount | grep /e.

• Find mount_script gist @ https://gist.github.com/sahilrajput03/1882b2f87009c1f62031c38bc2f0c02b

• Setting userpermission to be able to read/write in docker vm(or other linux). Also, don't forget to define all permissions you need on linux system for the user info you used to mount it.

• Problem: I was following the article correctly but din't figure it our early that it corresponded to installing x86 (32 bit version) of packages, but for my case I needed x86_64 (64 bit) packages to make it work. Now, its all cool. Though I need to install two more packages to make it work i.e., samba.tcz and samba-libs.tcz too to make it work actually as mount was throwing that some shit error.

• Motivation: Also, this article suggests creating new iso image(with cifs installed) as on rebooting docker vm loose changes made to it.

• Use lsblk insdie the docker vm machine to know the attached devices.

• Use mount | grep /e to see the mounting deatils.

• For unmounting use: sudo umount /e
