### Mount a shared-storage volume as a data volume
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to mounting a host directory in your container, some Docker
|
||||||
|
[volume plugins](../../extend/plugins_volume.md) allow you to
|
||||||
|
provision and mount shared storage, such as iSCSI, NFS, or FC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A benefit of using shared volumes is that they are host-independent. This
|
||||||
|
means that a volume can be made available on any host that a container is
|
||||||
|
started on as long as it has access to the shared storage backend, and has
|
||||||
|
the plugin installed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One way to use volume drivers is through the `docker run` command.
|
||||||
|
Volume drivers create volumes by name, instead of by path like in
|
||||||
|
the other examples.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following command creates a named volume, called `my-named-volume`,
|
||||||
|
using the `flocker` volume driver, and makes it available within the container
|
||||||
|
at `/opt/webapp`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
$ docker run -d -P \
|
||||||
|
--volume-driver=flocker \
|
||||||
|
-v my-named-volume:/opt/webapp \
|
||||||
|
--name web training/webapp python app.py
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may also use the `docker volume create` command, to create a volume before
|
||||||
|
using it in a container.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following example also creates the `my-named-volume` volume, this time
|
||||||
|
using the `docker volume create` command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
$ docker volume create -d flocker --name my-named-volume -o size=20GB
|
||||||
|
$ docker run -d -P \
|
||||||
|
-v my-named-volume:/opt/webapp \
|
||||||
|
--name web training/webapp python app.py
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
