access files only within the task directory.
### `host_volume` Stanza
The `host_volume` stanza is used to make volumes available to jobs.
The key of the stanza corresponds to the name of the volume for use in the
`source` parameter of a `"host"` type [`volume`](/docs/job-specification/volume.html)
and ACLs.
```hcl
client {
host_volume "ca-certificates" {
path = "/etc/ssl/certs"
read_only = true
}
}
```
#### `host_volume` Parameters
- `path` `(string: "", required)` - Specifies the path on the host that should
be used as the source when this volume is mounted into a task. The path must
exist on client startup.
- `read_only` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether the volume should only ever be
allowed to be mounted `read_only`, or if it should be writeable.

The "volume" stanza allows the group to specify that it requires a given volume
from the cluster.
The key of the stanza is the name of the volume as it will be exposed to task
configuration.
```hcl
job "docs" {
group "example" {
volume "certs" {
type = "host"
read_only = true
config {
source = "ca-certificates"
}
}
}
}
```
The Nomad server will ensure that the allocations are only scheduled on hosts
that have a set of volumes that meet the criteria specified in the volume
stanzas.
The Nomad client will make the volumes available to tasks according to the
[volume_mount][volume_mount] stanza in the `task` configuration.
## `volume` Parameters
- `type` `(string: "")` - Specifies the type of a given volume. Currently the
only possible volume type is `"host"`.
- `read_only` `(bool: false)` - Specifies that the group only requires read only
access to a volume and is used as the default value for the `volume_mount ->
read_only` configuration. This value is also used for validating `host_volume`
ACLs and for scheduling when a matching `host_volume` requires `read_only`
usage.
- `config` `(json/hcl: nil)` - Specifies the configuration for the volume
provider. For a `host_volume`, the only key is `source`, which is the name of
the volume to request.

<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">

<code>job -> group -> task -> **volume_mount**</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The "volume_mount" stanza allows the task to specify how a group
[`volume`][volume] should be mounted into the task.
```hcl
job "docs" {
group "example" {
volume "certs" {
type = "host"
read_only = true
config {
source = "ca-certificates"
}
}
task "example" {
volume_mount {
source = "certs"
destination = "/etc/ssl/certs"
}
}
}
}
```
The Nomad client will make the volumes available to tasks according to this
configuration, and it will fail the allocation if the client configuration
updates to remove a volume that it depends on.
## `volume_mount` Parameters
- `source` `(string: "")` - Specifies the group volume that the mount is going
to access.
- `destination` `(string: "")` - Specifies where the volume should be mounted
inside the tasks container.
- `read_only` `(bool: false)` - When a group volume is writeable, you may
specify that it is read_only on a per mount level using the `read_only` option
here.
