Adding directories

[sarafv]

Hello,
Can we add mount directories other than through the bv interface ?

On install from apptainer doc it is said that "Optionally, you may want to run the configuration GUI, through the bv program. Since BrainVISA is running in a container, it cannot access your computer directories unless you make them available to the container. Adding directories is done graphically, simply using the following command:

bv
"

Thanks_
Sara

Hi,
Yes, you can add mount points in the config file of casa-distro. The config file is /casa/host/conf/casa_distro.json on container side, or <container_env_dir>/conf/casa_distro.json from outside the container. Note that if you are running a site install (shared across users, read-only install), then the config file is $HOME/.config/casa-distro/casa_distro_3.json. In the JSON dict there, you can add (if it is not already existing) a "mounts"section, which is a dict with the shape<container_path>: <host_path>` for each mount point.
