Volumes: Which directories should be persistent?

[julianklotz]

I’m currently setting up a docker-based deployment for CraftCMS. I was wondering which directories should be persistent, i.e. be mapped to volumes? The base images don’t set volumes in the docker files at all.

Instinctively, I’d set /app/storage and the (installation-specific) assets folder /app/web/assets to be persistent.

EDIT: I’ve set craft not to allow updates and not to allow admin changes in production, so I expect that no config changes are made during runtime.

Any advice from your side?

Best regrads!

Hi @julianklotz!

In addition to the mounts you mentioned, I also mount /app/storage/backups so another service can process them via a shared mount.
You can also mount a Docker secret for the license.key if you run your Docker host in Swarm Mode, so you can manage your license outside your repo.

Best regards!
