Docker.github.io: Redis volume error - invalid mount config for type

[levidurfee]

File: get-started/part5.md, CC @johndmulhausen

I tried this a few times, but perhaps I didn't follow the tutorial correctly. I wasn't able to get Redis running until I remove the volume. Below is the docker-compose.yml file that finally worked for me. However, that won't persist data, right?

docker-compose.yml

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    # replace username/repo:tag with your name and image details
    # this is the docker image on docker hub
    image: levidurfee/get-started:part2
    deploy:
      replicas: 10
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: "0.1"
          memory: 50M
      restart_policy:
        condition: on-failure
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    networks:
      - webnet
  visualizer:
    image: dockersamples/visualizer:stable
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]
    networks:
      - webnet
  redis:
    image: redis
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]
    command: redis-server --appendonly yes
    networks:
      - webnet
networks:
  webnet:

These docs are the best I've seen in a long time. I've been able to follow along easily. Thank you!

This works

I ran into the same issue, until I realized I was jumping ahead in the tutorial and had skipped "Step 2" of the "Persist the Data" section of Part 5.

1. Create a ./data directory on the manager:

docker-machine ssh myvm1 "mkdir ./data"

Once I followed that portion of the Get Started tutorial, I was able to execute the stack with redis running properly (Step 4).

Hope this is helpful!

Thank you @Tasogarre :)

In my case myvm1 unexpectedly shutdown, and it appears I need to create that folder again to make it work (it's possible the folder did not persist across VM sessions).

I just sshed in to the vm or the swarm-manager and verified that there is no "/home/docker/data" directory which is the folder supposedly used for mapping ./data folder on the host. So, I just used /home/docker for the mount point and it seemed to have done the trick for starting the redis service.

$ docker-machine ssh myvm1 "ls -ltr /home/docker"
total 0
$ ls /home/docker
ls: /home/docker: No such file or directory
$ docker-machine ssh myvm1 "ls -ltr /home/docker/data"
ls: /home/docker/data: No such file or directory
exit status 1

$ docker service ls

Hi team,

I am getting the same error.
I am not using docker-machine. I am running "docker stack deploy" on powershell as it has been done in docker service docs.

Can any one suggest me what am i doing wrong? It is working fine if I don't use volume.

Hi Team,

I have find the issue with my problem. Volume mounting was not working for me. I had run following command to make it work.

• Run the command "set COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS=1"
• Restart Docker
• Go to Settings > Shared Drives > Reset credentials and then select drive and then apply
• From the command line, kill the containers (docker container rm -f )
• Re-run the containers
