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 host_config
param in Client.create_container
as shown below:
c.create_container(
'busybox', 'true', host_config=docker.utils.create_host_config(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.
