These types are _data volumes_ (often referred to simply as volumes) and +_bind-mounts_. + +A **bind-mount** makes a file or directory on the host available to the +container it is mounted within. A bind-mount may be either read-only or +read-write. For example, a container might share its host's DNS information by +means of a bind-mount of the host's `/etc/resolv.conf` or a container might +write logs to its host's `/var/log/myContainerLogs` directory. If you use +bind-mounts and your host and containers have different notions of permissions, +access controls, or other such details, you will run into portability issues. + +A **named volume** is a mechanism for decoupling persistent data needed by your +container from the image used to create the container and from the host machine. +Named volumes are created and managed by Docker, and a named volume persists +even when no container is currently using it. Data in named volumes can be +shared between a container and the host machine, as well as between multiple +containers. Docker uses a _volume driver_ to create, manage, and mount volumes. +You can back up or restore volumes using Docker commands. + +Consider a situation where your image starts a lightweight web server. You could +use that image as a base image, copy in your website's HTML files, and package +that into another image. Each time your website changed, you'd need to update +the new image and redeploy all of the containers serving your website. A better +solution is to store the website in a named volume which is attached to each of +your web server containers when they start. To update the website, you just +update the named volume. + +For more information about named volumes, see +[Data Volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/). + +The following table describes options which apply to both bind-mounts and named +volumes in a service: + +| Option | Required | Description +|:-----------------------------------------|:--------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +| **type** | | The type of mount, can be either `volume`, or `bind`. Defaults to `volume` if no type is specified. +| **src** or **source** | for `type=bind` only | +| **dst** or **destination** or **target** | yes | Mount path inside the container, for example `/some/path/in/container/`. If the path does not exist in the container's filesystem, the Engine creates a directory at the specified location before mounting the volume or bind-mount. +| **readonly** or **ro** | | The Engine mounts binds and volumes `read-write` unless `readonly` option is given when mounting the bind or volume.

+ +#### Bind Propagation + +Bind propagation refers to whether or not mounts created within a given +bind-mount or named volume can be propagated to replicas of that mount. Consider +a mount point `/mnt`, which is also mounted on `/tmp`. The propation settings +control whether a mount on `/tmp/a` would also be available on `/mnt/a`. Each +propagation setting has a recursive counterpoint. In the case of recursion, +consider that `/tmp/a` is also mounted as `/foo`. The propagation settings +control whether `/mnt/a` and/or `/tmp/a` would exist. + +The `bind-propagation` option defaults to `rprivate` for both bind-mounts and +volume mounts, and is only configurable for bind-mounts. In other words, named +volumes do not support bind propagation. + +- **`shared`**: Sub-mounts of the original mount are exposed to replica mounts, + and sub-mounts of replica mounts are also propagated to the + original mount. +- **`slave`**: similar to a shared mount, but only in one direction. If the + original mount exposes a sub-mount, the replica mount can see it. + However, if the replica mount exposes a sub-mount, the original + mount cannot see it. +- **`private`**: The mount is private. Sub-mounts within it are not exposed to + replica mounts, and sub-mounts of replica mounts are not + exposed to the original mount. +- **`rshared`**: The same as shared, but the propagation also extends to and from + mount points nested within any of the original or replica mount + points. +- **`rslave`**: The same as `slave`, but the propagation also extends to and from + mount points nested within any of the original or replica mount + points. +- **`rprivate`**: The default. The same as `private`, meaning that no mount points + anywhere within the original or replica mount points propagate + in either direction. + +For more information about bind propagation, see the +[Linux kernel documentation for shared subtree](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/sharedsubtree.txt). + +#### Options for Named Volumes +The following options can only be used for named volumes (`type=volume`); + +| Option | Description +|:----------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +| **volume-driver** | Name of the volume-driver plugin to use for the volume. Defaults to ``"local"``, to use the local volume driver to create the volume if the volume does not exist. +| **volume-label** | One or more custom metadata ("labels") to apply to the volume upon creation. For example, `volume-label=mylabel=hello-world,my-other-label=hello-mars`. For more information about labels, refer to [apply custom metadata](../../userguide/labels-custom-metadata.md). +| **volume-nocopy** | By default, if you attach an empty volume to a container, and files or directories already existed at the mount-path in the container (`dst`), the Engine copies those files and directories into the volume, allowing the host to access them. Set `volume-nocopy` to disables copying files from the container's filesystem to the volume and mount the empty volume.

A value is optional: +| **volume-opt** | Options specific to a given volume driver, which will be passed to the driver when creating the volume. Options are provided as a comma-separated list of key/value pairs, for example, `volume-opt=some-option=some-value,some-other-option=some-other-value`. For available options for a given driver, refer to that driver's documentation. + +#### Differences between "--mount" and "--volume" + +The `--mount` flag supports most options that are supported by the `-v` +or `--volume` flag for `docker run`, with some important exceptions: + +- The `--mount` flag allows you to specify a volume driver and volume driver + options *per volume*, without creating the volumes in advance. In contrast, + `docker run` allows you to specify a single volume driver which is shared + by all volumes, using the `--volume-driver` flag. + +- The `--mount` flag allows you to specify custom metadata ("labels") for a volume, + before the volume is created. + +- When you use `--mount` with `type=bind`, the host-path must refer to an *existing* + path on the host. The path will not be created for you and the service will fail + with an error if the path does not exist. + +- The `--mount` flag does not allow you to relabel a volume with `Z` or `z` flags, + which are used for `selinux` labeling. + +#### Create a service using a named volume + +The following example creates a service that uses a named volume: + +```bash +$ docker service create \ + --name my-service \ + --replicas 3 \ + --mount type=volume,source=my-volume,destination=/path/in/container,volume-label="color=red",volume-label="shape=round" \ + nginx:alpine +``` + +For each replica of the service, the engine requests a volume named "my-volume" +from the default ("local") volume driver where the task is deployed. If the +volume does not exist, the engine creates a new volume and applies the "color" +and "shape" labels. + +When the task is started, the volume is mounted on `/path/in/container/` inside +the container. + +Be aware that the default ("local") volume is a locally scoped volume driver. +This means that depending on where a task is deployed, either that task gets a +*new* volume named "my-volume", or shares the same "my-volume" with other tasks +of the same service. Multiple containers writing to a single shared volume can +cause data corruption if the software running inside the container is not +designed to handle concurrent processes writing to the same location. Also take +into account that containers can be re-scheduled by the Swarm orchestrator and +be deployed on a different node. + +#### Create a service that uses an anonymous volume + +The following command creates a service with three replicas with an anonymous +volume on `/path/in/container`: + +```bash +$ docker service create \ + --name my-service \ + --replicas 3 \ + --mount type=volume,destination=/path/in/container \ + nginx:alpine +``` + +In this example, no name (`source`) is specified for the volume, so a new volume +is created for each task. This guarantees that each task gets its own volume, +and volumes are not shared between tasks. Anonymous volumes are removed after +the task using them is complete. + +#### Create a service that uses a bind-mounted host directory + +The following example bind-mounts a host directory at `/path/in/container` in +the containers backing the service: + +```bash +$ docker service create \ + --name my-service \ + --mount type=bind,source=/path/on/host,destination=/path/in/container \ + nginx:alpine +``` + ### Set service mode (--mode) -You can set the service mode to "replicated" (default) or to "global".
