Creating a Container with Nfs Client Support

[pnookala-px]

Hi Team, I am trying to create a Windows Container that has a NFS Client Enabled and my DockerFile reads:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022
RUN powershell.exe Install-WindowsFeature NFS-Client;

Here the installation fails as the command expects the server to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Is there any workaround where we can install the feature without requiring a reboot?

Can you explain what you're trying to achieve with avoiding the reboot? @pnookala-px

I am trying to a get a docker image with nfs feature enabled. If I reboot at this instance, the docker container that gets created doesn't have nfs enabled. I am all for reboot but the client for nfs should be on by default in the container that I want to use. Please suggest how I can reboot safely so that the feature is enabled.

Hi @pnookala-px , have you fixed it?

If not, it might help you, have you used SMB to Persistent Storage with Docker/containers in general?

[pnookala-px]

Hi, I used hostprocess container to mount the nfs file system. Smb also worked but we wanted to limit to nfs, used hpc. It works from k8s version 1.25 onwards.

I'm happy to read it. Thanks to you I found this new feature in Kubernetes. Thank you!
