A Docker volume plugin that mounts remote folders via SSHFS into containers.
What is docker-volume-sshfs?
Docker Volume SSHFS is a Docker volume plugin that allows users to mount remote directories into Docker containers using SSHFS. It solves the problem of accessing files on remote servers from within containers without complex network configurations or manual file transfers. The plugin integrates directly with Docker's volume system, making remote storage as easy to use as local volumes.
DevOps engineers, system administrators, and developers who use Docker and need to access files from remote servers securely within their containers. It's particularly useful for workflows involving data processing, backups, or distributed applications.
Developers choose this plugin because it provides a secure, Docker-native way to mount remote filesystems without requiring additional infrastructure or complex setup. Its support for both password and SSH key authentication, along with customizable SSH options, offers flexibility and ease of integration into existing Docker workflows.
