multipass: Mount a directory into a specific instance.
$ multipass mount ${path-to-local-directory} ${instance_name}:${path-to-target-directory}
try on your machine
The command you provided is used with the Multipass tool to mount a local directory into a virtual instance. Here's an explanation of each component:
multipass
: This is the command-line tool used to manage and launch virtual instances. It allows you to create, start, stop, and manage the instances.mount
: This is the subcommand of Multipass used to mount a local directory into a virtual instance.${path-to-local-directory}
: This is the absolute or relative path to the local directory on your host machine that you want to mount into the instance. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to the directory.${instance_name}
: This is the name or identifier of the Multipass instance where you want to mount the local directory. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual name of the instance.${path-to-target-directory}
: This is the path inside the virtual instance where you want to mount the local directory. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to the target directory.
When you execute this command, Multipass will establish a link between the specified local directory and the target directory inside the instance. This allows you to access and modify the files and folders in the local directory from within the virtual instance. Any changes made in the instance will also be reflected in the local directory.
