I'm starting to dabble with docker-compose to link up some container goodness. If you've followed my other Docker-related posts the past couple of days (here), then you might have noticed that I have something Raspberry-Pi-related cooking.
Although I'll have to redo these with Pi-compatible base images, to get MongoDB running in one container with a separate data volume container is actually pretty simple. Here's what I ended up with. To start it up, 'docker-compose up -d' and you're up and running (copy this to docker-compose.yml):
mongodata:
image: mongo:3.2
volumes:
- /data/db
entrypoint: /bin/bash
mongo:
image: mongo:3.2
volumes_from:
- mongodata
ports:
- "27017:27017"Databases should be easy to deploy, easy to use, and easy to scale. If you agree, you should check out CockroachDB, a scalable SQL database built for businesses of every size. Check it out here.
