When running --read-only containers, mount a read-write tmpfs on /dev, /dev/shm, /run, /tmp, and /var/tmp. The default is true.
| --read-only | --read-only-tmpfs | / | /run, /tmp, /var/tmp |
|---|---|---|---|
| true | true | r/o | r/w |
| true | false | r/o | r/o |
| false | false | r/w | r/w |
| false | true | r/w | r/w |
When << 'ReadOnly=true' if is_quadlet else '--read-only==true' >> and << 'ReadOnlyTmpfs=true' if is_quadlet else '--read-only-tmpfs==true' >> additional tmpfs are mounted on the /tmp, /run, and /var/tmp directories.
When << 'ReadOnly=true' if is_quadlet else '--read-only==true' >> and << 'ReadOnlyTmpfs=false' if is_quadlet else '--read-only-tmpfs==false' >> /dev and /dev/shm are marked Read/Only and no tmpfs are mounted on /tmp, /run and /var/tmp. The directories are exposed from the underlying image, meaning they are read-only by default. This makes the container totally read-only. No writable directories exist within the container. In this mode writable directories need to be added via external volumes or mounts.
By default, when << 'ReadOnly=false' if is_quadlet else '--read-only==false' >> , the /dev and /dev/shm are read/write, and the /tmp, /run, and /var/tmp are read/write directories from the container image.
