Is it possible to mount files directly into the docker container

[maxkoretskyi]

So I can create files that will be referenced in a python script like this using HTTP:

{
    "args": ["main.py"],
    "files": [
        {
            "path": "main.py",
            "content": "d2l0aCBvcGVuKCJ...="
        },
        {
            "path": "source.txt",
            "content": "c3VwZXIgYWR2YW...="
        }
    ]
}

this works great, but the files I need to process are in tens of gigabytes. Is there any way for me to mount them directly into the container so that I won't be using HTTP to transfer all that data?

Hey, I believe snekbox can support your use case. You can mount your files as a Docker volume using Docker's CLI options when starting a container. You'll need a custom NsJail configuration to mount your volume into the jailed process. Using a custom NsJail configuration also requires a mount with Docker (or you can build your own image); you will need to mount it to /snekbox/config/snekbox.cfg within the container.

If you make this mount read-write rather than read-only, keep in mind that these files will be accessible to all eval requests.
