I’m trying to deploy the RPI Monitoring to Balena Cloud with docker-compose:

rpi-monitor:  
image: michaelmiklis/rpi-monitor:latest  
privileged: true  
ports:  
- “8888:8888”  
devices:  
- “/dev/vchiq”  
- “/dev/vcs”  
volumes:  
- “/boot:/boot”  
- “/sys:/dockerhost/sys:ro”  
- “/etc:/dockerhost/etc:ro”  
- “/proc:/dockerhost/proc:ro”  
- “/usr/lib:/dockerhost/usr/lib:ro”

but I receive this error: "Bind mounts are not allowed "

Could you help me , please ?

Have a look at the limitations of multi-container applications on balenaCloud [https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/develop/multicontainer/#docker-composeyml-file](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/develop/multicontainer/#docker-composeyml-file)
