This is different from using an `APIRouter` as a mounted application is completely independent. The OpenAPI and docs from your main application won't include anything from the mounted application, etc.

You can read more about this in the [Advanced User Guide](../advanced/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

This sub-application is just another standard FastAPI application, but this is the one that will be "mounted":

{* ../../docs_src/sub_applications/tutorial001_py39.py hl[11, 14:16] *}

### Mount the sub-application { #mount-the-sub-application }

In your top-level application, `app`, mount the sub-application, `subapi`.

In this case, it will be mounted at the path `/subapi`:

{* ../../docs_src/sub_applications/tutorial001_py39.py hl[11, 19] *}

- MinIO distributed mode requires **fresh directories**. If required, the drives can be shared with other applications. You can do this by using a sub-directory exclusive to MinIO. For example, if you have mounted your volume under `/export`, pass `/export/data` as arguments to MinIO server.
- The IP addresses and drive paths below are for demonstration purposes only, you need to replace these with the actual IP addresses and drive paths/folders.

# Used to simulate a T:\ drive within the container, to a limited extent,
# via a symlink.
# Helpful since the internal CI utilizes a T:\ drive, part of which is mounted
# to the container, and would result in C:\<path> != T:\<path> mismatches,
# when using variables like `TFCI_OUTPUT_DIR` in `docker exec commands,
# requiring conditional path adjustments throughout the CI scripts.

<a href="/items/42">
```

## Templates and static files { #templates-and-static-files }

You can also use `url_for()` inside of the template, and use it, for example, with the `StaticFiles` you mounted with the `name="static"`.

```jinja hl_lines="4"
{!../../docs_src/templates/templates/item.html!}
```

In this example, it would link to a CSS file at `static/styles.css` with:

```CSS hl_lines="4"

  quay.io/minio/minio server /data
```

`MINIO_ROOT_USER_FILE` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE` also support custom absolute paths, in case Docker secrets are mounted to custom locations or other tools are used to mount secrets into the container. For example, HashiCorp Vault injects secrets to `/vault/secrets`. With the custom names above, set the environment variables to

```

* «the lock»: «der Lock»
* «the locking»: «das Locking»
* «the mobile application»: «die Mobile-Anwendung»
* «the model object»: «das Modellobjekt»
* «the mounting»: «das Mounten»
* «mounted»: «gemountet»
* «the origin»: «das Origin»
* «the override»: «Die Überschreibung»
* «the parameter»: «der Parameter»
* «the parameters» (plural): «die Parameter»

# Symlink a directory, to have it pretend be the T:\ drive.
# This drive letter is used by internal CI,
# and part of it is mounted to the container during the container's creation.
#
# While the mount argument (`-v host_path:container_path`) still requires
# `container_path` to be a legitimate C:\ path, in this case, 'C:\drive_t',

## others depend on enabled status of corresponding sections.
existingSecret: ""

## Directory on the MinIO pof
certsPath: "/etc/minio/certs/"
configPathmc: "/etc/minio/mc/"

## Path where PV would be mounted on the MinIO Pod
mountPath: "/export"
## Override the root directory which the minio server should serve from.
## If left empty, it defaults to the value of {{ .Values.mountPath }}

**Note**: this is a very technical detail that you probably can **just skip**.

---

The `APIRouter`s are not "mounted", they are not isolated from the rest of the application.

This is because we want to include their *path operations* in the OpenAPI schema and the user interfaces.

As we cannot just isolate them and "mount" them independently of the rest, the *path operations* are "cloned" (re-created), not included directly.
