The weak part of Docker is volume/data management and it is interesting that the article almost never mentioned it. There are solutions that attach networking storage to containers, but that just adds a latency to the application. If one wants access to the fast local storage, then Docker requires significant extra efforts to set things up.
- stephenitis 11y agoI think you can do exactly what you are asking for with the host machine's local storage with docker today. Where do these docs fall short for you? https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/dockervolumes/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/dockervolumes/ I would first start with the use case, checkout what came out in docker 1.9 and the read up on what the various volume plugins provide. (I work for ClusterHQ and we read and hear a lot of feedback around the topic, also )
- fpoling 11y agoMy point is that most Docker tutorials and documentation underestimates the complexity of persistent data management. Docker is not going to solve that. However, once one takes care about the data, Docker is really nice for service isolation and deployment.
