There will arise situations when you will want to share files between host and container. The solution is just a one liner.

<!--more-->

It follows the following syntax:

```
incus config device add <container> <device name> disk source=</path/to/directory/> path=</mount/point/in/conainer>
```

Example:

```
incus config device add conatiner1 movies disk source=/srv/movies path=/mnt/movies
```

Or if you are feeling special, you can directly edit the config with `incus config edit <container>`, following the previous example:

```yaml
dveices:
  movies:
    path: /mnt/movies
    source: /srv/movies
    type: disk
```
