I’m new to Docker, but I’m trying to deploy some containers that will need to read and write to a network shared volume. I’m hoping to run things like Navidrome, Immich, and an Arr Stack. The containers are on Ubuntu and my network volume is on a qnap machine. It is discoverable from Ubuntu without issue.
Do I need to mount the shared volume in Ubuntu or can I just refer to it in the Docker Compose file?
I know I need to mention the location of the volume in the Docker Compose file, but I’m not sure how to write that. How do I include the un/pw information for the NAS?
I read about bind mounts in Docker’s documentation. Is that what I want to use? Again, how do I include the un/pw information? I’m not sure how to use the commands.
The volume path for the navidrome folder is //tiger-nas/music/music for example.
I appreciate any help.
I guess this is one of my big questions. If I mount it in the YAML file, do I still have to mount it in Ubuntu? Thank you for this.
no, it’s actually preferable that you don’t.
docker volume manager will actually mount it for you, you can see where using the “docker volume inspect {name}” command.
