Linux Docker Host with FreeNAS network storage

[KioskAdmin]

Hey guys, I'm trying to do something that should be really easy. I want to use docker w/ FreeNAS network. I don't want to FreeNAS 10 docker in VM. That's janky. I want to have many docker Linux hosts and then use a FreeNAS server as backing.

I read this Select a storage driver but it looks like the zfs is only local zfs storage.

Any recommended guides on setting this up?

AFAIK, you'd have to have a share setup on the host computer via NFS, SMB, or iSCSI and then add a data volume to the docker image pointing at this location:

docker run -d -P --name test -v /your/shareDirectory:/directoryInDockerContainer test/myapp test test.sh

There's, apparently, a volume module that can be added allowing docker images to directly mount SMB, NFS, and some others. Further details here: Manage data in containers
