buildah-mount(1)	    General Commands Manual	      buildah-mount(1)

NAME
       buildah-mount - Mount a working container's root	filesystem.

SYNOPSIS
       buildah mount [container	...]

DESCRIPTION
       Mounts  the  specified container's root file system in a	location which
       can be accessed from the	host, and returns its location.

       If the mount command is invoked without any arguments,  the  tool  will
       list all	of the currently mounted containers.

       When  running  in rootless mode,	mount runs in a	different namespace so
       that the	mounted	volume might not be accessible from the	host when  us-
       ing  a driver different than vfs.  To be	able to	access the file	system
       mounted,	you might need to create the  mount  namespace	separately  as
       part  of	 buildah unshare.  In the environment created with buildah un-
       share you can then use buildah mount and	have  access  to  the  mounted
       file system.

RETURN VALUE
       The  location of	the mounted file system.  On error an empty string and
       errno is	returned.

OPTIONS
       --json

       Output in JSON format.

EXAMPLE
       buildah mount working-container
       /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay2/f3ac502d97b5681989dff84dfedc8354239bcecbdc2692f9a639f4e080a02364/merged

       buildah mount
       working-container /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay2/f3ac502d97b5681989dff84dfedc8354239bcecbdc2692f9a639f4e080a02364/merged

       If running in rootless mode, you	need to	do a buildah unshare first  to
       use the mount point.

       $ buildah unshare
       # buildah mount working-container
       /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/f8cac5cce73e5102ab321cc5b57c0824035b5cb82b6822e3c86ebaff69fefa9c/merged
       # cp foobar  /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/f8cac5cce73e5102ab321cc5b57c0824035b5cb82b6822e3c86ebaff69fefa9c/merged
       # buildah unmount working-container
       # exit
       $ buildah commit	 working-container newimage
