buildah-mount - Mount a working container's root filesystem.
buildah mount [
container ...]
Mounts the specified container's root file system in a location which can be
accessed from the host, and returns its location.
If the mount command is invoked without any arguments, the tool will list all of
the currently mounted containers.
When running in rootless mode, mount runs in a different namespace so that the
mounted volume might not be accessible from the host when using a driver
different than
vfs. To be able to access the file system mounted, you
might need to create the mount namespace separately as part of
buildah
unshare. In the environment created with
buildah unshare you can then
use
buildah mount and have access to the mounted file system.
The location of the mounted file system. On error an empty string and errno is
returned.
--json
Output in JSON format.

If running in rootless mode, you need to do a buildah unshare first to use the
mount point.
$ buildah unshare
# buildah mount working-container
