Making the S3 filesystem available to the host from inside a docker container about mountpoint-s3 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @mustafamotiwala, I think this is a docker configuration problem rather than mountpoint. Just to confirm, is mountpoint still working fine in the container after it started and only accessing from the host is not possible?

Another thing you can check is mountpoint logs. If you don't see any requests in mountpoint logs when accessing the file system from the host that means docker didn't redirect those requests to mountpoint.

@monthonk - do you mean if the share between the host and container works before the mount-s3 command is issued? If so, yes. I have verified that by modifying the folders from both the container & the host, and the changes are reflected correctly and work in both directions.

How can I get the mountpoint logs?

FWIW - I was also able to replicate this behavior on a linux machine. However, when I updated my base image to use Ubuntu instead of the AmazonLinux - it worked for me on linux. Unfortunately no such luck on MacOS.

Sorry, I mean can you access files in your bucket via mountpoint inside the container? If yes that means

• mountpoint is still working fine after you have shared the file system with the host
• we can check mountpoint logs and see if there are any errors

Next thing I wanted to confirm is: can file system requests from the host reach mountpoint? If the answer is no, then I think the problem is at docker mount level, for example, it might not support sharing Fuse based file system.

You can see https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/blob/main/doc/LOGGING.md about how to get mountpoint logs.
