Type: `unix-hotplug`¶

▶ Watch on YouTube

Note

The unix-hotplug device type is supported for containers. It supports hotplugging.

Unix hotplug devices make the requested Unix device appear as a device in the instance (under /dev). If the device exists on the host system, you can read from it and write to it.

The implementation depends on systemd-udev to be run on the host.

Device options¶

unix-hotplug devices have the following device options:

Key	Type	Default	Description
`gid`	int	`0`	GID of the device owner in the instance
`mode`	int	`0660`	Mode of the device in the instance
`productid`	string	-	The product ID of the Unix device
`required`	bool	`false`	Whether this device is required to start the instance (the default is `false`, and all devices can be hotplugged)
`uid`	int	`0`	UID of the device owner in the instance
`vendorid`	string	-	The vendor ID of the Unix device
