Recently I have developed an application running with docker in PHP including file upload process.
However, actual uploaded files to the server would have been lost when the container exits.
How did you deal with the matter? Please tell me how to make files persistent.
For example:
This can be done using docker compose. You will be able to access the files inside container by mounting them to external host directory. The files uploaded to wordpress are stored in wp-content/uploads
and you can mount this using this sample docker-compose file:
version: '3'
services:
mysql-database:
image: mysql
container_name: mysql-database
volumes:
- ./mysql/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
ports:
- 3306:3306
wordpress-sites:
image: wordpress:custom
build:
context: ./wordpress
dockerfile: wordpress.dockerfile
container_name: wordpress-sites
links:
- mysql-database
depends_on:
- mysql-database
ports:
- 8080:80
volumes:
- ./wordpress/wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
The documentation regarding volumes should be able to help you.
