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 using a  dri-
     ver  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  un-
     share.   In  the  environment created with buildah unshare 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  er-
     rno 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
