How does NFS work?

[mrjackdavis]

Hi,

This is probably human error, but I'm trying to figure out how NFS works. The readme doesn't quite explain it enough for me.

My process so far

$ brew update
$ brew install dinghy
$ dinghy create
$ dinghy up
$ docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
$(docker) ls /
> bin  boot  dev    etc  home  lib  lib64  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var

I expected to see /Users/me. But I did not. Please explain where I am going wrong.

You would see it with dinghy ssh. You have to bind mount into the docker container for it to have access: docker run -it -v /Users/me:/Users/me ubuntu /bin/bash

Thanks @ryansch.

It was not apparent to me that the usage of NFS was transparent to the container. Perhaps the docs could use a little improvement? I'd be happy to submit a PR
