Docker-Volume

Docker allows you to create something called volumes. Volumes are like separate storage areas that can be accessed by containers. They allow you to store data, like a database, outside the container, so it doesn't get deleted when the container is deleted. You can also mount from the same volume and create more containers having the same data.

Docker Network

Docker allows you to create virtual spaces called networks, where you can connect multiple containers (small packages that hold all the necessary files for a specific application to run) together. This way, the containers can communicate with each other and with the host machine (the computer on which the Docker is installed). When we run a container, it has its own storage space that is only accessible by that specific container. If we want to share that storage space with other containers, we can't do that.

Task-1

• Use the docker-compose up command with the -d flag to start a multi-container application in detached mode.

• Use the docker-compose scale command to increase or decrease the number of replicas for a specific service. You can also add replicas in deployment file for auto-scaling.

• Use the docker-compose ps command to view the status of all containers, and docker-compose logs to view the logs of a specific service.

• Use the docker-compose down command to stop and remove all containers, networks, and volumes associated with the application

version: '3.9'
services:
  my_web_app:
    container_name: "django-application"
    build: .
    ports:
      - 8001:8001
    volumes:
      - django_todo_volume:/app
    my_db:
      container_name: "django-mysql-db"
      image: mysql:5.7
      ports:
        - 3306:3306
      environment:
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "test@12"

volumes:
  django_todo_volume:

docker-compose up -d

ubuntu@ip-172-31-80-39:~/django-todo-cicd$ ubuntu@ip-172-31-80-39:~/django-todo-cicd$ docker-compose up -d
django-application is up-to-date
Recreating django-mysql-db ... done

You can check the running container

Task-2

• Learn how to use Docker Volumes and Named Volumes to share files and directories between multiple containers.

• Create two or more containers that read and write data to the same volume using the docker run --mount command.

• Verify that the data is the same in all containers by using the docker exec command to run commands inside each container.

• Use the docker volume ls command to list all volumes and docker volume rm command to remove the volume when you're done.

  

• commands to create docker volume:

docker volume create --name django_todo_volume --opt type=none --opt device=/home/ubuntu/volumes/django-todo --opt o=bind

you can see in the above-created folder all the data which is attached to /app in the container will come under the folder once it is mounted even if you kill the container you can recreate the crash container using below command

docker run -d -p 8001:8001 --mount source=django_todo_volume,target=/app django-app-latest-volume:latest
