I followed the example from the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-develop-python-module and was playing around a bit.

I tried to mount a path into the IoT module container like I would do in docker but I didn't succeed. I added the following to the createOptions in the deployments.template.json:

"createOptions": {
    "Volumes": {
        "D:\\test":"/test"
    }
}

This results in a RUNTIME RESPONSE: 400 - The deployment configuration is malformed or invalid.

My questions:

  • Is it even possible to mount a path from the host to IoTEdge modules like one would do in docker?
  • If yes, how?
  • Where can I find a reference of all the createOptions arguments?

Yes, it is indeed possible to use mounts. You can find an example of how to use them in the creation options in the SQL Server tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/tutorial-store-data-sql-server#add-a-sql-server-container

"createOptions": "{\"HostConfig\": {\"Mounts\": [{\"Target\": \"/var/opt/mssql\",\"Source\": \"sqlVolume\",\"Type\": \"volume\"}],\"PortBindings\": {\"1433/tcp\": [{\"HostPort\": \"1401\"}]}}}"
