--read-only-tmpfs
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 --read-only=true and --read-only-tmpfs=true additional tmpfs are mounted on the /tmp, /run, and /var/tmp directories.
When --read-only=true and --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 --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.
