## What it is
A Docker volume plugin written in Go that lets containers directly mount NFS v3/4, AWS EFS, Ceph, and Samba/CIFS network shares. It runs as a service alongside the Docker daemon and registers a volume driver usable via --volume-driver.

## Use cases
- mount nfs shares inside docker containers
- use aws efs as docker volume storage
- mount cifs/samba network shares in containers
- share persistent network storage across docker hosts
- run stateful containers backed by network file systems

## When to choose
- you need NFS, EFS, or CIFS volumes mounted directly into Docker containers on Linux
- you want shared persistent storage across multiple Docker hosts without a storage orchestrator

## When to avoid
- you are on Docker 19+ and can use built-in volume driver plugins or CSI drivers instead
- you need actively maintained software - the last release was 2021
- you need network storage on non-Linux hosts

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, container-runtime, plugin-system
- domain: self-hosted, cloud-computing
- platform: go, cli
- tags: docker-volume-plugin, nfs, aws-efs, cifs, samba, ceph, network-storage, containers, devops, linux, docker
