Mounting directory from host machine to container in Docker

Question

How do I mount a directory from the host machine to a container in Docker?

Accepted Answer

Just as a final update, this feature is now released in Docker (though the API has changed since the pull request linked by @imiric).

Simply use a command like

```
docker run -v /tmp:/root myImage
```

in order to mount `/tmp` from the host machine as `/root` within the image.
