Why not dokku core storage?

julienma opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Hey, I'm very happy to see this plugin, I can finally get rid of most of my deployment scripts and really automate deployment of my DBs and volumes \o/

Quick question though: why using docker volumes instead of dokku core storage? I'm genuinely interested, as I've started to switch to dokku storage for all my apps.

I needed to support an older dokku deploy < 5.
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps if enough people like this I can convince dokku to add it into core.

And do you think it'd be possible to add support for core storage (it already work out of the box on dokku > 0.5.0)? :D

Looking at the dokku storage docs, it looks like it's just a wrapper around docker volumes. When you say add support, what did you have in mind?

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I thought docker volumes and dokku storage were 2 different ways of managing persisting storage.
Well, if dokku storage is 100% compatible with docker volumes (which dokku-require uses), I don't have any more suggestion :)

thanks for the feedback. I'll close this issue. I'm pretty sure storage just creates the host directory as newer versions of docker don't do that automatically, which I'm pretty sure I included in require.
