I’m new to Docker, but I’m trying to deploy some containers that will need to read and write to a network shared volume. I’m hoping to run things like Navidrome, Immich, and an Arr Stack. The containers are on Ubuntu and my network volume is on a qnap machine. It is discoverable from Ubuntu without issue.

Do I need to mount the shared volume in Ubuntu or can I just refer to it in the Docker Compose file?

I know I need to mention the location of the volume in the Docker Compose file, but I’m not sure how to write that. How do I include the un/pw information for the NAS?

I read about bind mounts in Docker’s documentation. Is that what I want to use? Again, how do I include the un/pw information? I’m not sure how to use the commands.

The volume path for the navidrome folder is //tiger-nas/music/music for example.

I appreciate any help.

      I’m constantly seeing this advice, dispite docker supporting nfs volumes. How do you handle docker starting containers before the shares are mounted? making the docker service as a whole wait for network mounts? what about containers that dont need to wait for a network drive?

        Honestly I’ve never had that issue, but if you use compose you can delay the start of a container and use the “depends-on” function to hold any other containers. But yes docker supports both NFS and SMB.

    My network shared folders are on a windows 11 (yes, I know. It’s shit.) pc and my docker is running on Linux.

    Here’s what my mounts look like -

    
volumes:
  plex:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs
      o: username=pc_username,password=pc_password,vers=3.0,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
      device: //10.0.0.3/Plex

    Hope this helps.

      Thank you. So the un/pw is only entered in the Ubuntu mount, not in the Docker file?

    It’s been a while so I am relying on some janky notes:

    Prep:

    spoiler

    Create a Mount Point: sudo mkdir /mnt/myhdd

    Mount the HDD: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myhdd

    Verify the Mount: df -h

    Install Samba (if not already installed):

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install samba

    Configure Samba: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

    Add the following at the end of the file:

    [MyHDD]
path = /mnt/myhdd
available = yes
valid users = yourusername
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

    Set Samba Password: sudo smbpasswd -a yourusername

    Restart Samba: sudo systemctl restart smbd

    To make the HDD mount automatically at boot, add the following line to /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myhdd ext4 defaults 0 2

    make you replace /dev/sdb1 and /mnt/myhdd with your actual device and mount point.

    Compose File:

    spoiler 
    services:
  navidrome:
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    user: 0:0  # should be owner of volumes
    ports:
      - "14533:4533"
    restart: always
    environment: {}  # Empty mapping - valid and fixes the error
      # Optional: put your config options here. Examples:
      # ND_LOGLEVEL: debug
      # ND_SCANSCHEDULE: "@every 5m"
    volumes:
      - "/docker-data/navidrome/:/data"
      - "/mnt/myhdd/your/path/goes/here:/music:ro"  # Use forward slashes

    Adjust as necessary or applicable. Maybe this will get you headed in the right direction. It’d be helpful if someone double checked my notes. I get nervous when giving instructions. LOL Also it should go without saying that you should do your due diligence verifying any code copied off the internet. Not responsible for ingrown toenails, loose stool, or blurred vision.
