Docker and Kubernetes for Java Developers

Creating and removing volumes

The Fabric8 Maven Docker plugin couldn't be a complete solution without the possibility of managing volumes. Indeed, it provides two ways to handle volumes: docker:volume-create and docker:volume-remove. As you probably remember from Chapter 2, Networking and Persistent Storage, Docker uses a plugin-like architecture when handling volumes and their drivers. The fabric8 plugin can be configured to pass a specific volume driver and its parameters to the Docker daemon. Consider the following fragment of the plugin configuration:

<plugin>
    
        <configuration>
    
    
          [...]
    
    
          <volumes>
    
    
            <volume>
    
    
              <name>myVolume</name>
    
    
              <driver>local</driver>
    
    
              <opts>
    
    
                <type>tmpfs</type>
    
    
                <device>tmpfs</device>
    
    
       <o>size=100m,uid=1000</o> ...
