COmanage Match Volumes and Data Persistence
COmanage Match requires a relational database. See other documentation in this repository for examples of how to orchestrate a COmanage Match container together with an container providing a relational database service, and for details on how to configure the COmanage Match container to connect to the database.
Additionally COmanage Match requires a persistent directory into which a few files and a specific directory structure needed by COmanage Match will be written.
The persistent directory must be provided either using a Docker volume or a bind mount.
The directory path inside the container that must be mounted
is /src/comanage-match/local
.
For example to use a bind mount from the local Docker engine host:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/comanage-match-local
and then when instantiating the container
docker run -d \
--name comanage-match \
-v /opt/comanage-match-local:/srv/comanage-match/local \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
comanage-match:1.0.0-shibboleth-sp-1
After the image is instantiated into a container for the first time
the entrypoint script will create the necessary directory structure
along with the database.php
and other necessary files using
database and other details found in
environment variables.
After the first instantiation of the container later restarts will not overwrite database configuration or any other details in the persistent directory, even if the values for the environment variables change.
