Docker volume plugin

Docker-Volume-Driver (2017)

• This driver was built and developed by following the documentations of https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/config/#config-field-descriptions and https://blog.codeship.com/extend-docker-via-plugin/

• This driver can mount the volume at the mountpoint provided in the path(should be an absolute host path only), if the mount volume doesn't exists, a new volume with the specified volume-name is created at the path and mounts it.

1. Install driver

     - sudo mkdir -p /tmp/mntdir1 /etc/mntdir2
     - sudo docker plugin install maheshreddy7797/docker-volume-driver:latest

                                OR

     - git clone https://github.com/maheshreddy7797/docker-volume-driver.git
     - cd docker-volume-driver
     - sudo make
     

2. Check docker volume plugins list

   docker plugin ls

  ID                  NAME                                              DESCRIPTION                         ENABLED
  12fb9b1c43c8        maheshreddy7797/docker-volume-driver:latest       Example volume plugin               true

3. Create volume

    docker volume create -d maheshreddy7797/docker-volume-driver -o user=admin -o password=open -o size=1G --name=demovol

demovol

4. Check if volume is created

  docker volume ls

  DRIVER                                    VOLUME NAME
  local                                     database
  maheshreddy7797/docker-volume-driver      demovol

5. Run the container with mounted volume

  docker run -it -v demovol:/data alpine sh
