How to grant Container Manager rw access to user homes?

[kekesed97]

Hi all, previously in Docker (up to DSM 7.1), I can easily bind "homes" directory to any container. But now in Container Manager (DSM 7.2), apparently I no longer able to do that (even the "home" directory isn't there in folder binding windows. Is there any solution?

Please refer to this image to see what I mean.

Yes, this is annoying. There is a workaround and that is by importing a settings file. For example, I needed to update a folder location for an existing container. I exported the container settings to a json file. After exporting, I made the changes and imported it back in.

 

The section looks like this:

 

   "volume_bindings" : [
      {
         "host_volume_file" : "/homes/user/location",
         "is_directory" : true,
         "mount_point" : "/drive",
         "type" : "rw"
      }
   ]

Container Manager has limitations.

 

You should consider Portainer, or use yaml files with docker-compose.
