Operation not permitted with local nfs export

[Jaykah]

I am trying to mount a locally exported NFS share, but am getting permissions errors every time:

root@ubuntu:/home/user# docker run -i -t --volume-driver=nfs -v 127.0.0.1/mnt/info:/tmp ubuntu /bin/bash
docker: Error response from daemon: chown /var/lib/docker-volumes/netshare/nfs/127.0.0.1/mnt/info: operation not permitted.

DEBU[0141] Host path for 127.0.0.1/mnt/info is at /var/lib/docker-volumes/netshare/nfs/127.0.0.1/mnt/info
DEBU[0141] Entering Mount: {127.0.0.1/mnt/info map[]}

DEBU[0141] exec: mount -v -t nfs4 127.0.0.1:/mnt/info /var/lib/docker-volumes/netshare/nfs/127.0.0.1/mnt/info

DEBU[0142] Entering Unmount: {127.0.0.1/mnt/info map[]}

What is curious is that if I mount directly it works:

root@ubuntu:/home/user# mount -v -t nfs4 127.0.0.1:/mnt/info /var/lib/docker-volumes/netshare/nfs/127.0.0.1/mnt/info

What am I doing wrong?

Looks like netshare is not running as root? It must have rights to create the directory the mount is going too and since it runs as a system process it typically needs root.

Running as root.

Let me know if I can provide any additional information pertaining to the issue at hand.

Is anyone successfully using Netshare for NFS exports?
