UoD Deployment Note

For deployments to UoD only, mount docker data root folder on ESS, use the followings instructions and update the docker configuration before deployment.

This configuration change is not required for deployments to other environments.

Instructions

  • Opens a terminal session as the root

    sudo su

  • Create the virtual disk (40 GB, it can be increased it in the future if needed)

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img bs=1G count= 40

  • Format the disk

    mkfs.xfs /uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img

  • Create a directory to act as a mount point and bind the virtual drive to it

    mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-xfs
mount -o loop,pquota /uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img /var/lib/docker-xfs

  • Mount the virtual disk when machine is restarted

    vi /etc/fstab

    Add this line by the end of the file

      /uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img /var/lib/docker-xfs xfs loop,defaults 0 0

  • Check it

    df -h /var/lib/docker-xfs

  • Stop the docker service

    systemctl stop docker

  • Edit the following file to configure the docker to use the mounted folder for data root

    vi /etc/docker/daemon.json

    Add the following contents

      {
    "data-root": "/var/lib/docker-xfs",
    "storage-driver": "overlay2"
  }

  • Start the docker service

    systemctl start docker
