Docker : Use External Storage2015/12/21 |
|
When containers are removed, data in them are also lost, so it's necessary to use external filesystem in containers as persistent storages if you need.
|
|
| [1] | It's possible to mount a directory on Docker Host into containers. |
|
# create a directory for containers data [root@dlp ~]# mkdir -p /var/lib/docker/disk01 [root@dlp ~]# echo "persistent storage" >> /var/lib/docker/disk01/testfile.txt
# run a container with mounting the directory above on [/mnt] [root@dlp ~]# docker run -it -v /var/lib/docker/disk01:/mnt centos /bin/bash
df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on overlay overlay 26G 2.5G 24G 10% / tmpfs tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup shm tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/centos-root xfs 26G 2.5G 24G 10% /mnt tmpfs tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /proc/acpi tmpfs tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /proc/scsi tmpfs tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/firmware[root@323d67542d8d /]# cat /mnt/testfile.txt persistent storage |
| [2] | It's also possible to configure external storage by Docker Data Volume command. |

# create [volume01] volume [root@dlp ~]# docker volume create volume01 volume01 # display volume list [root@dlp ~]# docker volume ls DRIVER VOLUME NAME local volume01 # display details of [volume01] [root@dlp ~]# docker volume inspect volume01
