How to deploy web console by docker, docker run -d -p 80:80 -v :/var/lib/mongodb –name, What is host absolute path?

I’m trying to deploy Apache Ignite Web console on Linux(CentOS 7), but to run docker, i have to set host_absolute_path of MongoDB, How to handle it?

<host_absolute_path> is a path on your host machine where MongoDB will create database files. This folder should be created before docker run. Go to Docker->Preferences->File Sharing and create the directory there or use the other way that suits your more. Can anybody explain step by step?

docker run -d -p 80:80 -v <host_absolute_path>:/var/lib/mongodb --name web-console-standalone apacheignite/web-console-standalone

Answer

<host_absolute_path> is just a path on your local machine. MongoDB is embedded into the docker image. You need to specify a path where MongoDB will store data. It’s required because data need to survive restarts of the container. For example you can run:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:80 -v /home/user/mongodb:/var/lib/mongodb apacheignite/web-console-standalone:2.7.0

It will run Web console 2.7.0 on 8080 port of the host machine and store data in /home/user/mongodb. This directory should be already present when you start the container.
