I am struggling to find the right information on how to mount blob storage as a volume in docker machine. I expect this is kind of basic, and I can mount the blob from the terminal, but as far as I know that is not how volumes are meant to be used from docker. How should I do this?
My docker-compose file looks something like:
version: "3.9"
services:
test:
build: .
image: registry.gitlab.com/my_company/test
command: test
volumes:
- blob:/mount/
- /local_folder/:/local_folder
network_mode: bridge
volumes:
blob:
driver: ??
driver_opts:
share_name: my_blob
storage_account_name: my_storage_account
I did find a related question on a File Share volume, but that is different then a blob storage I guess?

@Sven How are you mounting blob storage. Is this using NFS 3.0 for blob storage or blobfuse?
@Anonymous I have mounted it successfully to my local system using blobfuse. Is blobfuse also providing a docker volume driver? Or should I then take the NFS 3 route? I have found something about cloudstor but didn't manage to get it accepted as volume driver yet.
@Sven Blobfuse is not currently compatible with docker. You should be able to mount it with NFS 3.0 using the standard NFS options in docker.
@Anonymous thanks, this seems to be the solution. I did have to create a new storage account with NFS3 explicitly enabled to get it to work.
"Fortunately" I had to do an operation on the data anyway, so in my case this is solved by combining the operation with a full copy to a new blob.

@Anonymous is this still the case?
