Deploy multiple container instances with volume using docker-compose

Question

It is not clear how to add volume (from Azure storage) to the docker-compose.yml file .

I have followed the description on how to create Azure file share and mount it. However it is missing how to do that with docker-compose.
I came a cross with a solution like this one (when there are multiple volumes needed):

volumes:
  data:
      driver: azure_file
      driver_opts:
          share_name: hitapp-volumn
          storage_account_name: hitappserverst
  front_vol:
      driver: azure_file
      driver_opts:
          share_name: hitapp-frontend
          storage_account_name: hitappserverst

But when building the images using "docker-compose up --build -d", I get an error for "azure_file" plugin:

"Error response from daemon: create hitapp_server_front_vol: error looking up volume plugin azure_file: plugin "azure_file" not found"

I also see that the azure_file plugin in github is deprecated: https://github.com/Azure/azurefile-dockervolumedriver

What should I use now? How can I use couple of volumes in docker-compose?

thanks!

Answer 1

I suggest to try mounting the volumes in the following way:

services:
   web:
     image: acrcontainer/tomcat
     ports:
       - "8080:8080"
     volumes:
       - hitappserverst: /home/hitapp-volumn
       - hitappserverst: /home/hitappserverst
volume:
     - hitappserverst
File share name: hitappserverst

The name of the storage mount would be hitappserverst and the mount path the folder insider your container /home/hitapp-volumn
