Docker volumes are persistent, unless they're not :-)
2 comments

I've never been willing to consider docker volumes persistent. In the big picture, a requirement of "posix filesystem semantics" and "persistent" is a pretty inconvenient and/or expensive requirement.
I am super paranoid about docker volumes. But I have application-level backup which is tested daily.
Well, I guess it also doesn’t help that I’ve only used Docker with AWS Fargate (aka “Serverless Docker”) - where nothing is persistent.
