Docker : Use Persistent Storage2019/02/19 |
|
When Container is removed, data in it are also lost,
so it's necessary to use external filesystem in Containers as persistent storage if you'd like to save data.

|
| [1] | It's possible to mount a directory on Docker Host into Containers. |
|
# create a directory for data PS C:\Users\Administrator> mkdir C:\docker-storage
# create a test file PS C:\Users\Administrator> Write-Output 'Docker Persistent Storage Test' | Out-File -Encoding default C:\docker-storage\index.html
# run a container with mounting the directory above on [C:\disk01] PS C:\Users\Administrator> docker run -it -v C:\docker-storage:C:\disk01 mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1809
