Rob Sewell tries out docker-compose to persist databases using named volumes:
With all things containers I refer to my good friend Andrew Pruski. Known as dbafromthecold on twitter he blogs at https://dbafromthecold.com
I was reading his latest blog post Using docker named volumes to persist databases in SQL Server and decided to give it a try.
His instructions worked perfectly and I thought I would try them using a docker-compose file as I like the ease of spinning up containers with them.
Read on for Rob’s travails, followed by great success. And never go into something named “the spooky basement;” that’s just good life advice.
