NAME
       containers-mounts.conf  - configuration file for	default	mounts in con-
       tainers

DESCRIPTION
       The mounts.conf file specifies volume mount directories that are	 auto-
       matically  mounted  inside containers. Container	processes can then use
       this content. Usually these directories are used	for passing secrets or
       credentials required by the package software to access  remote  package
       repositories.  Note  that  for  security	reasons, tools adhering	to the
       mounts.conf are expected	to copy	the contents instead of	bind  mounting
       the paths from the host.

FORMAT
       The  format  of	the  mounts.conf  is the volume	format /SRC:/DEST, one
       mount per line. For example, a mounts.conf with the line	/usr/share/se-
       crets:/run/secrets would	cause the contents of  the  /usr/share/secrets
       directory  on  the host to be mounted on	the /run/secrets directory in-
       side the	container. Setting mountpoints allows containers  to  use  the
       files of	the host, for instance,	to use the host's subscription to some
       enterprise Linux	distribution.

FILES
       Some distributions may provide a	/usr/share/containers/mounts.conf file
       to  provide  default  mounts,  but  users  can  create  a /etc/contain-
       ers/mounts.conf,	to specify their own special volumes to	mount  in  the
       container.  When	 Podman	 runs  in  rootless mode, the file $HOME/.con-
       fig/containers/mounts.conf will override	the default if it exists.
