I'm running this on debian 9
I'm using sudo docker volume create db to create a volume I'm using in my docker-compose.yml. But I still get the error db_1_d89b59353579 | mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/mysql': Permission denied.
How can I set permissions for the user using that volume. And how to get the user?
Docker-Compose:
version: '2'
volumes:
nextcloud:
db:
services:
db:
image: mariadb
command: --transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED --binlog-format=ROW
restart: always
volumes:
- db:/var/lib/mysql:z
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=***
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=***
- MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
- MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
app:
image: nextcloud
ports:
- 8080:80
links:
- db
volumes:
- nextcloud:/var/www/html
restart: always
I got an install.sh file where I run:
...
sudo docker volume create db
sudo docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
Try to first change the mounts to local folders and see if that fixes your issue:
version: '2'
volumes:
nextcloud:
db:
services:
db:
...
volumes:
- ./db:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=***
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=***
- MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
- MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
app:
...
volumes:
- ./nextcloud:/var/www/html
restart: always
If that does then check that the volumes are correctly removed by docker-compose down. Run docker volume ls. If they still persist then remove them by hand and rerun your containers with the volumes.
Regarding the difference between mounting to a volume (db:/var/lib/mysql) and mounting to a host path (./db:/var/lib/mysql):
In the first case it is a volume managed by Docker. It is meant for persistence but getting to the files is a bit more tricky. In the second case it is a path on the host and it makes it a lot easier to retrieve persisted files. I recommend to run "docker-compose config" for both situations and see the difference in how docker-compose internally transforms the statement.

I have an application where I need to reset the database (wipe it completely).
I ran all the commands I could find
docker system prune
docker system prune -a -f
docker volume prune
Using docker volume ls, I copied the volume ID and then ran
docker volume rm "the volume id"
When I do docker system df nothing is shown anymore. However, once I run my app again
docker-compose up --build
the database still contains old values.
What am I doing wrong?

It seems the database in your config is mapped to a directory on your host system:
volumes:
- /data/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
so the data in the containers /var/lib/postgresql/data is read from and written to your local /data/postgres directory.
If you want to delete it you should empty out that directory. (Or move it until you are sure that you can delete it)
I am using docker-compose and here is my docker-compose.yaml file:
version: "3.7"
services:
node:
container_name: my-app
image: my-app
build:
context: ./my-app-directoty
dockerfile: Dockerfile
command: npm run dev
environment:
MONGO_URL: my-database
port: 3000
volumes:
- ./my-app-directory/src:/app/src
- ./my-app-directory/node_modules:/app/node_modules
ports:

networks:

I expect to find a clear and newly created database each time I run the following command:
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
But this is not the case. When I bring the containers up with docker-compose up, my database has the exact state of the last time I shut it down with docker-compose down command. And since I have not specified a volume prop in my-database object, is this normal behaviour? Does this mean that no other action to persisting database state is required? And can I use this in production if I ever choose to use docker-compose?
The mongo image define the following volumes:
/data/configdb
/data/db
So docker-volume will create and use a unamed volume for data/db.
If you want to have a new one, use:
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up -d --build
Or use a mount point mounted on the volume location like:
volumes:
- ./db:/data/db:rw
And drop your local db directories when you want to start over.
I'm trying to use Docker to containerize a MySQL (MariaDB actually) database. I figured out how to store MySQL data (/var/lib/mysql) in a volume mounted from a host directory.
However, because the underlying filesystem is different from host to host there are some inconsistencies, for example table names are case insensitive on NTFS (Windows). Also, it looks like if the database is created on a Linux host it doesn't work on a Windows host (haven't figured out why exactly).
Therefore, I want to store the data on a disk image and mount it inside the container, i.e. db-data.img formatted as ext4. But I'm facing a strange problem, when mounting this image inside the container:
$ docker run -v $PWD:/outside --rm -it ubuntu /bin/bash
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/test.img bs=1M count=100
# mkfs.ext4 test.img
# mount -o loop -t ext4 test.img /mnt
mount: /mnt: mount failed: Operation not permitted.
Using another directory instead of /mnt didn't work either.
Why does it refuse to mount the img file?
I would suggest to use docker-compose and just use a volume declared in the docker-compose.yml configuration.
Something like this:
version: '3'
services:
mysql:
image: mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: $MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
MYSQL_USER: $MYSQL_USER
MYSQL_PASS: $MYSQL_PASSWORD
volumes:
- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
mysql-data:
The mysql-data volume should be stored as a separate volume, independent from the host operating system. The difference to just mounting a directory on the host, it's basically mounting a volume container (which you could also do without docker-compose, but it's more work).
It will not work inside of docker image, Docker blocks access to mouning filesystems (and loop devices). Should be easier create these image earlier, mount and connect to docker as folder by -v.
P.S. Another option is dump your database to sql and restore from windows.
I managed to solve this by using the privileged option in docker-compose.yml:
privileged: true
(or --privileged in the docker command)
Here is my final docker-compose.yml:
version: '3'
services:
db:
build: ./db
image: my_db
container_name: db
privileged: true
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
- MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
- MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
volumes:
- ${MYSQL_DATA_IMG}:/data.img
restart: always
Dockerfile:
FROM mariadb
COPY my-custom.cnf /etc/mysql/conf.d/custom.cnf
COPY run.sh /usr/local/bin/run-mariadb.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["run-mariadb.sh"]
and a custom entry point script that executes mount (run.sh):
#!/bin/sh
# For this mount comamnd to work the DB container must be started
# with --privileged.
mount -o loop /data.img /var/lib/mysql
# Call the entry point script of MariaDB image.
exec /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld
for storing database data make docker-compose.yml will look like

I have successfully created docker containers and they work when loaded using:
sudo docker-compose up -d
The yml is as follows:
services:
nginx:
build: ./nginx
restart: always
ports:
- "80:80"
volumes:
- ./static:/static
links:
- node:node
node:
build: ./node
restart: always
ports:
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- ./node:/usr/src/app
- /usr/src/app/node_modules
Am I supposed to create a service for this. Reading the documentation I thought that the containers would reload in restart was set to always.
FYI: the yml is inside a projects directory on the home of the base user: ubuntu.
I tried checking for solutions in stack but could not find anything appropriate. Thanks.
I am new to docker and developing a project using docker compose. From the documentation I have learned that I should be using data only containers to keep data persistant but I am unable to do so using docker-compose.
Whenever I do docker-compose down it removes the the data from db but by doing docker-compose stop the data is not removed. May be this is because that I am not creating named data volume and docker-compose down hardly removes all the containers. So I tried naming the container but it threw me errors.
Please have a look at my yml file:
version: '2'
services:
data_container:
build: ./data
#volumes:
# - dataVolume:/data
db:
build: ./db
ports:
- "5445:5432"

The Docker file for the data_container is:
FROM stackbrew/busybox:latest
MAINTAINER Tom Offermann <tom#offermann.us>
# Create data directory
RUN mkdir /data
# Create /data volume
VOLUME /data
I tried this but by doing docker-compose down, the data is lost. I tried naming the data_container as you can see the commented line, it threw me this error:
ERROR: Named volume "dataVolume:/data:rw" is used in service "data_container" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.
So right now what I am doing is I created a stand alone data only named container and put that in the volumes_from value of the db. It worked fine and didn't remove any data even after doing docker-compose down.
My queries:
What is the best approach to make containers that can store database's data using the docker-compose and to use them properly ?
My conscious is not agreeing with me on approach that I have opted, the one by creating a stand alone data container. Any thoughts?
docker-compose down
does the following
Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images
created by up
So the behaviour you are experiencing is expected.
Use docker-compose stop to shutdown containers created with the docker-compose file but not remove their volumes.
Secondly you don't need the data-container pattern in version 2 of docker compose. So remove that and just use
db:
...
volumes:
- /var/lib/postgresql/data
docker-compose down stops containers but also removes them (with everything: networks, ...).
Use docker-compose stop instead.
I think the best approach to make containers that can store database's data with docker-compose is to use named volumes:
version: '2'
services:
db: #https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/
image: mysql
volumes:
- "wp-db:/var/lib/mysql:rw"
env_file:
- "./conf/db/mysql.env"
volumes:
wp-db: {}
Here, it will create a named volume called "wp-db" (if it doesn't exist) and mount it in /var/lib/mysql (in read-write mode, the default). This is where the database stores its data (for the mysql image).
If the named volume already exists, it will be used without creating it.
When starting, the mysql image look if there are databases in /var/lib/mysql (your volume) in order to use them.
You can have more information with the docker-compose file reference here:
https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#/volumes-volume-driver
To store database data make sure your docker-compose.yml will look like
