This script outputs the namespace and name of the pod. You can remove the grep '/var/run/docker.sock' to review other mounts.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```bash\nkubectl get pods --all-namespaces \\\n-o=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{\"\\n\"}{.metadata.namespace}{\":\\t\"}{.metadata.name}{\":\\t\"}{range .spec.volumes[*]}{.hostPath.path}{\", \"}{end}{end}' \\\n| sort \\\n| grep '/var/run/docker.sock'\n```\n\nThere are alternative ways for a pod to access Docker on the host. For instance, the parent directory /var/run may be mounted instead of the full path (like in this example). The script above only detects the most common uses.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
