Extending Docker

Chapter 3. Volume Plugins

In this chapter, you will get an overview of both first and third-party volume plugins. We will be discussing installing, configuring, and using the following storage plugins:

• Docker Volumes: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/containers/dockervolumes/
• Convoy: https://github.com/rancher/convoy/
• REX-Ray: https://github.com/emccode/rexray/
• Flocker: https://clusterhq.com/flocker/introduction/

You will also get an understanding of how to interact with Docker plugins and how they both differ and work with the supporting tools that we covered in Chapter 2, Introducing First-party Tools.

Note

This chapter assumes that you are using Docker 1.10+. Note that some commands may not work in previous versions.
