systemctl mount-image

Mount an image file into a unit's mount namespace. Only supported for the units that run within a mountspace ie, with RootImage=, PrivateMounts=, etc. More information: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#mount-image%20UNIT%20IMAGE%20%5BPATH%20%5BPARTITION_NAME:MOUNT_OPTIONS%5D%5D.

• Mount an image at a specific path inside the unit's mount namespace:

systemctl mount-image {{unit}} /{{path/to/image}} /{{path/to/directory_inside_unit}}

• Mount the image's root partition with read-only and no-setuid options:

systemctl mount-image {{unit}} /{{path/to/image}} /{{path/to/directory_inside_unit}} root:ro,nosuid

• Create the destination directory before mounting:

systemctl mount-image --mkdir {{unit}} /{{path/to/image}} /{{path/to/directory_inside_unit}}

• Mount an image as read-only:

systemctl mount-image --read-only {{unit}} /{{path/to/image}} /{{path/to/directory_inside_unit}}
