• Mount USB Drive (Hotplug/Hot Plug USB)

Start your container.

Pick a port, for example,7700.

lsusb to get vid:pid

On Linux: sudo usbredirserver -p 7700 1e3d:2096

Now, in the Docker window hit Enter to see the (qemu) console.

You can add/remove the disk using commands like this, even once the machine is started:

chardev-add socket,id=usbredirchardev1,port=7700,host=172.17.0.1

device_add usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,debug=4

Thanks!

Finally, I use usb-storage as the target device instead of virtio-blk/nvme.

1. add a qemu-xhci controller:
   -device qemu-xhci,id=xhci,bus=pci.1,addr=0x1e

2. hot plug/unplug a usb-storage device
   drive_add 0 file=vm-102-disk-hot.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-hotplug,cache=writeback,aio=io_uring,format=qcow2 device_add usb-storage,drive=drive-hotplug,id=usb1,bus=xhci.0
