#### Mount outside of a SeaweedFS cluster
Besides connecting to filer server, `weed mount` also directly connects to volume servers directly for better performance. However, if the SeaweedFS cluster is started by Kubernetes or docker-compose, the volume servers only knows its own IP addresses inside the cluster, which are not accessible by `weed mount`.
`weed mount -outsideContainerClusterMode` option can help here. It assumes:
* All volume server containers are accessible through the same hostname or IP address as the filer.
* All volume server container ports are open external to the cluster.
So the `weed mount -outsideContainerClusterMode -filer=<filerHostname:filerPort>` will use the filer server's hostname to replace volume servers' hostname, but keeping the volume servers' port number unchanged.
