Then as container starts, copy the NFS file to the local Docker volume.

Why not have the NFS volume mounted on &nbsp;a -v exported directory.<br />
And use the NFS &nbsp;volume. to manipulate all data.

Hi Docker experts,<br />
<br />
as part of docker run, i mount a NFS volume to the container, <br />
<br />
but inside the container, would like to copy a file from the mounted volume and copy to a different location inside the container during docker run<br />
<br />
since files in this volume will be more dynamic. I can only copy file after mounting<br />
<br />
please suggest/advice
