Hello,

I have a two node replica 3.8 GlusterFS cluster and am trying to find out the best way to use a GlusterFS volume as persistent storage for docker containers to store their data (e.g. web assets).

I was thinking that the simplest method would be to mount my GlusterFS volume for that purpose on all docker nodes using FUSE and then simply start containers which require persistent storage with a mount of bind type. For example here is how I would create my container requiring persistent storage:

docker service create --name testcontainer --mount type=bind,source=/mnt/gustervol/testcontainer,target=/mnt alpine

What do you think about that? Is this a good way? or is the even a better way?

Regards,

M.
