[@sameersameerghatole4751]

Thanks for the detail explanation , Differences between -v and --mount behavior Because the -v and --volume flags have been a part of Docker for a long time, their behavior cannot be changed. This means that there is one behavior that is different between -v and --mount. If you use -v or --volume to bind-mount a file or directory that does not yet exist on the Docker host, -v creates the endpoint for you. It is always created as a directory. If you use --mount to bind-mount a file or directory that does not yet exist on the Docker host, Docker does not automatically create it for you, but generates an error

Usecase 2, Backend container keeps on adding content to file , frontend container reads the file and displays it, very common example.( If backend goes down, entire information goes down as storage was not persistence.) Usecase 3, container Application that reads a file present on the host OS filesystem.

Bind mount are used for development only because when you deploy the container to PROD then there is not need to have same folder structure on the PROD system. So mainly for source code updates while doing developments then bind mounts are handy. When you update the source code on the docker host file system then an restart of the container helps to automatically replicate the data in the docker host file system to container own file system.

[@AbhishekVeeramalla]

Thanks a lot

[@Cloudnp9458]

Bind mounts and volumes are the solution for the problem. Bind mounts allow to bind the directory inside the container. Even if container goes down, the data is still there in the /app directory. Volume is logical partition/disk you create using docker cli on the Host OS. And the volume has a lifecycle. Since you can create it delete it. Another volume advantage is it can also be created on external storage devices such as ec2, s3. You can create a high performance storage and mount it as volume. Ways to create volume, docker -v docker --mount

Usecase 1, Containerized Application stores information about users accessing/auditing the application in form of logs. Containers are ephimeral(short lived) in nature, they use FS of underlying host OS. So if the container goes down it free up resources from OS filesystem, hence log files also get deleted.

Hi Abhishek, Thank you so much for giving us valuable information with your teachings by spending lot of your own time. We all owe you for this. I learned a lot of concepts and improved my knowledge by watching these videos. I have one doubt regarding this Docker volumes and Bind Mount. My question is when volumes has these many advantages why we need Bind Mounts concept? Are there any specific cases where only Bind Mount applicable or Blind Mounts overweigh the volumes? Other than when we or client needs info to be stored on same host?. Thank you!!

[@AbhishekVeeramalla]

Thanks 🙏 Bind mounts have little better performance over volumes, that is the only thing I can think of at this point.

[@bhagarenikhil]

Hi, Your contents are too good. I just loved it.❤ I have 1 question related to Docker volume. Q. Are docker volumes dynamic in nature? Are they grow/shrink as needed?

[@lakshmishanthi2906]

Well explained Abhishek. The commands used to attaching the volume or binding volume you showed in Linux VM right . Please confrom me is the same commands will work for windows also?

[@MaheshYadav-304]

Hi @Abhishek, I might be having the stupid question "When you ran the docker volume create " it's going to create the logical dir, but then how/where we can define the size of the volume, is that size is depend on the actual size of the volume? Also if want to create the external volume, in example i'm running Docker on AWS EC2 and want to attach external storage (Another new volume to EC2) and want use that storage as a Docker volume how to do that?

[@veeru2310]

Hi Abhishek your explanation is very nice can you help me to insert If container may down if new container will come in to picture what about existing created volume on host ?

[@nallapaneniram766]

22:06 -- Volumes that we are seeing with specific name like "argocd" is the named volumes and others are anonymous volumes.

Hi Abhishek, could you please explain basics about a server like where are the source code stored, which log files to debug in case of incident in prod , best practices to enhance security, best practices to cap CPU, memory etc. in real world scenario

[@artibalvir1193]

ctrl+F

[@nallapaneniram766]

when container shutdown and you can restart by tagging named volume name to the container to get all data replicated to container own file system but with anonymous volumes cannot be tagged when you restart the container.

Only then you will be able to delete volume. We created volume and mounted the volume. So even if the container goes down, data remains stored in the volume. The data can be stored, backed up , shared with other containers.

[@saikumarthatikonda2007]

Abhishek bro, what is reverse proxy and forward proxy?

[@AbhishekVeeramalla]

Forward proxy is for example .. you use VPN to connect to internet Reverse proxy is for example nginx load balancer which intercepts the client request validates the request and forwards to the server

Sir, is it possible to reverse mount i.e., mount a directory from container to host?

What is the requirement so that I can understand more

[@sayondeep6729]

@@AbhishekVeeramalla So ideally in local system I have to install an application and the directory of this app in will be used by another app so I need so export this directory as env variable. Now on containerization the image comes preinstalled with the application and the directory I must export is within the container Volume wont work because it will mount host machine files to container but what I need is to mount the directory of the container to host machine so that I can export that directory as env variable for other application to use I hope I made it clear.

[@theophilustenebe4181]

my question is the volumes we mount have no size? how do we see the content and how do we do a back up?

[@AbhishekVeeramalla]

Just consider it as a regular volume. Nothing different in terms of reading or taking backups. For example, if you have mounted a folder from the virtual machine as a volume to docker container, just take back of the folder.
