Only data in volume - bind mounts possible

[snorre-k]

Hi Nathan,

I tried to overcome the problem with the whole installation being copied into the volume.

To solve this I did:

• start the application at build time for 60 seconds to get the initial data directories being created
• added a script part to the entrypoint which checks:
  • if the asset in the data volume already exists
  • moves the asset to the data volume, if it does not already exist
  • deletes the 'container' asset in the application directory
  • creates a link for the asset in the application directory

This works for the following assets:

• db_cloud
• db_local
• db_remote
• etc
• log
• jre/lib/security/cacerts

Unfortunately the assets cert/ and extcmd/ as links give massive Java errors and prevent the application from starting. So these directories would need an additional bind mount or volume.

Now also the bind mounts to host directories work :)

Please have a look and merge if you like it.

Thanks for the work on this! I'll merge it, but not re-publish existing tags so I don't break any existing setups. If/when a new version of powerpanel is released, I'll publish a new version with this included, and update the README
