Shared Memory with Docker containers (docker version 1.4.1)

Question

I have 1 process that writes to a specific section of shared memory (i.e. \"/falcon\" )in a docker container.

Docker image: dockersharedmemory/shmclient

Answer 1

You still need -v /dev:/dev what happens if you do

docker run -d -v /dev:/dev --ipc=host dockersharedmemory/shmserver

docker run -d -v /dev:/dev --ipc=host dockersharedmemory/shmclient

If you dont mount bind /dev/ then the container cannot see whats inside /dev/ which is where your IPC/shm resides isnt it ?
