rs.initiate() not preserved with data volume

[pward123]

I forgot to mention that if I run rs.initiate() again against the new container, everything starts working again.

Can you run "docker diff" on the container to see if it's modified any
files in the R/W layer?

You can check whether anything has changed before doing your docker rm mongo with the docker diff mongo command. That will show you any changed files against the base mongo image that happened outside of volumes.

I suspect your replicaset issue is actually related to the transient hostname being used by the container. You could try using the -h flag to docker run to set a hostname inside your container.

Ahh, didn't know about the docker diff command. That's pretty handy.

A /data
A /data/db
C /root
A /root/.bash_history
A /root/.dbshell
A /root/.mongorc.js
C /tmp
A /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
C /var
A /var/db

I tried -h but that doesn't seem to help either. If you like I can try to create a github repo duplicating it with vagrant

Does your mongo_data container actually have a volume at /data/db?

[pward123]

Doh, you're right on. I must've goofed when creating the data container. I recreated it making sure I had the correct -v param. That fixed the problem.

Thanks for the assist
