[SOLVED] Connecting /var/lib/vz/template/iso to a container

[Taomyn]

In order to save space and not duplicate ISOs and images, I'd like to create a Linux container that will have access to /var/lib/vz/template/iso on the host it runs on.

Can this be done and if so what's the best way to achieve it?

PVE v8.1

a bind mount would be an option:

Thanks for the prompt answer, I will take a look at that later, but will I be able to make it read/only?

 

[fabian]

yes

FYI, for anyone else this is the command I used to create the bind mount

pct set 104 -mp0 /var/lib/vz/template/iso,mp=/root/iventoy/iso,ro=1

I confirmed I could access it from the command line, so hopefully actually using it will be ok.
