Docker Volume Plugin for MooseFS Available Now!

Docker containers are ephemeral — their data shouldn’t be. The new MooseFS Docker Volume Plugin, available as .deb and .rpm packages, connects Docker volumes directly to MooseFS so data persists long after the container is gone.

Thanks to Docker Volume Plugin for MooseFS, you can create a Docker Volume, which will allow the data to exist even after the container/volume is removed.

Getting Started

Implementation requires two steps:

  1. First of all, mount MooseFS storage on Docker hosts using MooseFS Client.
  2. Create Docker Volume and connect it to the mountpoint on the host.

Future Plans

Our future goal is to provide a plugin which does not require any software on the host system.

The plugin repository is available on GitHub: github.com/moosefs/docker-volume-moosefs.
