Docker with Puppet How can i remove the associated volumes when a container stops

Question

When i stop a service, the init scripts generated will stop the container but the volumes associated with the container are not removed. How do i change this behaviour?

Answer 1

By default, when the service stops or starts, the generated init scripts remove the container, but not the associated volumes. 

To change this behaviour, add the following code to the manifest file:

docker::run { 'helloworld':
  remove_container_on_start => true,
  remove_volume_on_start    => false,
  remove_container_on_stop  => true,
  remove_volume_on_stop     => false,
}

This should do!
