---------------------------------
Docker volumes and bind mounts are used to address the problem of log file deletion when a container goes down.
- Containers are ephemeral in nature and do not have a file system by default.
- Docker volumes and bind mounts provide persistent storage for containers to store important files like log files.
Containers use temporary resources from the host operating system and lose them when the container goes down.
- The container doesn't have permanent resources and loses them when it goes down.
- This can lead to the loss of important data such as user details or log files.
Docker allows users to use bind mounts and volumes for accessing host file systems.
- Bind mounts enable containers to access specific directories or folders in the host operating system.
- Volumes provide a more flexible and scalable way to manage persistent storage for Docker containers.
Docker volumes and bind mounts offer solutions for persistent storage in Docker.
- Bind mounts allow you to bind a directory inside the container to a directory on the host.
- This ensures that any files written or read by the container are accessible even if the container goes down or a new container is created.
Volumes in Docker provide advantages in managing, creating, and destroying them, as well as offering flexibility in creating them on external storage devices.
- The advantage of using volumes is the ability to bind a specific directory on the container to another directory on the host, providing flexibility in hosting locations.
- You can create volumes on any location, including the same host, external EC2 instances, or storage devices like S3 or NFS. This allows for easy backup and movement of volumes.
Docker volumes and bind mounts provide easy backup, sharing, and high-performance storage for containers.
- Volumes allow for easy backup and mounting of external storage devices.
- Volumes can be easily shared between containers.
- High-performance storage can be created and mounted to containers.
Creating a volume in Docker is as simple as running the command 'docker volume create'.
- Now you have a volume called Abhishek.
- Volumes offer advantages over bind mounts, such as managing the entire life cycle of containers and the ability to store data in an external storage system.
Docker volumes allow for persistent storage for Docker containers
- Volumes can be dedicated to one or multiple containers
- Use 'Docker volume inspect' command to get details about a specific volume
Mounting a volume to a Docker container
- Create a Docker image using a Dockerfile
- Use the Docker volume create command to create a volume and mount it to the container
Using the '-mount' option in 'docker run' command for mounting a volume.
- By using the '-mount' option in the 'docker run' command, we can mount a volume in a container. This option provides a verbose output, making it easier to share the command with others in the team.
- The '-mount' option requires specifying the name of the volume and the target folder in the container, followed by the image details. The image can be the one created in the previous demo or any other image like nginx or httpd.
Volumes and bind mounts in Docker provide persistent storage for containers
- Volumes can be created and managed using commands, allowing for additional options like read-only volumes
- Before deleting a volume, it is important to stop and delete the associated container
