Docker volume plugin for bindfs

This project is based on vieux/docker-volume-sshfs. With this plugin you're able to mount a given path and remap its owner and group.

I recommend using this plugin with dev-environments only, cause of potential security issues.

Usage

1 - Install the plugin

$ docker plugin install lebokus/bindfs

# or to enable debug 
docker plugin install lebokus/bindfs DEBUG=1

2 - Create a volume

$ docker volume create -d lebokus/bindfs -o sourcePath=$PWD -o map=$UID/0:@$UID/@0 [-o <any_bindfs_-o_option> ] bindfsvolume

$ docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               2d75de358a70ba469ac968ee852efd4234b9118b7722ee26a1c5a90dcaea6751
local               842a765a9bb11e234642c933b3dfc702dee32b73e0cf7305239436a145b89017

lebokus/bindfs      bindfsvolume

3 - Use the volume

$ docker run -it -v bindfsvolume:<path> busybox ls -la <path>

docker-compose example

Please note that the $UID variable is a bash and not a system variable. Fix it with

export UID

version: '2'
services:
    app:
        image: busybox
        command: "ls -la /mnt/test"
        volumes:
          - data:/mnt/test

volumes:
    data:
        driver: lebokus/bindfs:latest
        driver_opts:
            sourcePath: "${PWD}"
            map: "${UID}/0:@${UID}/@0"
