Docker run , Docker Compose

off.the.walls

Hey all,

Hoping someone in here knows docker.


I managed to set up a mongo image and if I want to develop on my local machine then i'm running just that image and the data is going in through the exposed port and storing in the DB so thats fine. My problem is that once I build my app with docker-compose with mongodb and my web app using mongo as an image the data is different?

Can anyone give a brief sentence about why there is a difference in databases even though they're named the same?

Thanks

Do you use the same docker-compose command to run in development and for the distribution build? If not, what are the two commands?

I managed to figure it out, the one that i'm running locally is a separate container to the one that I'm running as part of the docker compose command.

IMO, Docker containers themselves should be stateless unless it's for some demo purpose.

Then use config to connect to a stateful data store as required.
