 On current versions of Docker, you can't mount volumes during image construction. This poses an issue for me as I don't want to replicate gigabytes of data already existing on my disk when it won't appear on the final build. Therefore, instead of building an image with a traditional Dockerfile, we're going to use a bash script on a running base image container and export the filesystem to create the image from.

 [MergerFS](https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs) is a great filesystem for an expandable storage system in a homelab.

MergerFS won't be as efficient as a filesystem that stripes your data across disks, but in the case of a disk failure the disks unaffected will still have part of the data.
