centurylink/data-container repository overview

⁠CenturyLink Data Container

This image is used for creating data containers within the Panamax⁠ application. Panamax leverages these containers for docker --volumes-from operations.

Example usage - create the data container:

$ docker run --rm --name datacontainer1 -v /dbdata centurylink/data-container:1.0

From this, another container can connect to the data container via the --volumes-from option.

$ docker run --rm --name mysql1 --volumes-from datacontainer1 centurylink/mysql:5.5

Running a docker inspect on mysql1 shows the data container mounted from datacontainer1:

$ docker inspect mysql1
