What is volume in dockerfile?


Asked by Jasper McPherson on Dec 02, 2021 FAQ



When a volume is defined in a Dockerfile with the VOLUME instruction it is intended to expose files from the container, for example files that the software in the container creates, as could be the data files of a database. But you want to mount something from your disk into a running container,...
Similarly,
By the default, all Docker-managed named volumes are stored under the installed Docker directory… typically, /var/lib/docker/volumes/[path]. However, it is possible /var mount is low on disk space.
In addition, To start using Docker that runs on a remote host: Go to Tools & Settings > Docker (under Server Management). Click Add Server and specify the settings of the remote server with Docker. To start using this Docker service in Plesk, leave Set active selected.
Moreover,
What is the Purpose of Dockerfile? A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. Using docker build users can create an automated build that executes several command line instructions in succession.
Also,
A Dockerfile is like a small "program" to create an image. This small program is run with: docker build -t name-of-result . Each line takes the image from the previous line and makes another image. The prior image is unchanged. The state on the previous line is never edited. Each step of the build process produces a new image.
