# Access to devices on the host
|
|
|
|
If you need to directly expose some host devices to a container, you can use
|
|
the devices parameter in the `Client.start` method as shown below
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
c.start(container_id, devices=['/dev/sda:/dev/xvda:rwm'])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each string is a single mapping using the colon (':') as the separator. So the
|
|
above example essentially allow the container to have read write permissions to
|
|
access the host's /dev/sda via a node named /dev/xvda in the container. The
|
|
devices parameter is a list to allow multiple devices to be mapped.
