Docker : Use External Storage2020/06/02 |
|
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 ubuntu /bin/bash
df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on overlay overlay 77G 7.2G 66G 10% / tmpfs tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup shm tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv ext4 77G 7.2G 66G 10% /mnt tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /proc/acpi tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /proc/scsi tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /sys/firmwareroot@c2bf4bfa9980:/# cat /mnt/testfile.txt persistent storage |
| [2] | It's also possible to configure external storage by Docker Data Volume command. |
