Question

How do I share data between two different docker containers?

Answer 1

Hi @Hannah, follow these steps:

1. Create an independent volume using the following command:

docker volume create --name DataVolume1

2. Create a new container and attach this newly created volume to it

docker run -ti --rm -v DataVolume1:/datavolume1 ubuntu

3. Create another container and attach this volume to it:

docker run --rm -ti -v DataVolume1:/datavolume1 ubuntu

Now you these containers have the same volume and communicate through it.
