A data volume container is far superior to bind mounting the host's shared directories. It preserves the idempotency, immutability and declarative properties of the containers. The way this works in practice is that a data volume container is created. Then when the containers start they use LVM to access the filesystem where /var/lib/docker is contained. Then the container startup logic bindmounts the data volume stored on the host filesystem in /var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/ID. This prevents people with access to the host operating system from damaging the contents of the data container. It does mean that now we must use tools/stop to stop our containers rather than tools/cleanup-containers -f. This is a containers best practice. For more details see: https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockervolumes/ Big credit goes to Danyeon Hansen for seeding this idea in the mariadb containers. Note occasionally docker-compose start/stop seems to not want to stop a container. This bug needs to be addressed upstream separately from our utilization of this best practice.
