Run Docker with the host directory

Availability

This feature is available starting with PMM 2.29.0.

To run Docker with the host directory:

1. Pull the image.

   docker pull percona/pmm-server:2
   

2. Run the image.

   export DATA_DIR=$HOME/srv
   docker run -v $DATA_DIR/srv:/srv -d --restart always --publish 80:80 --publish 443:443 --name pmm-server percona/pmm-server:2
   

   DATA_DIR is a directory where you want to store the state for PMM.

3. Visit https://localhost:443 to see the PMM user interface in a web browser. (If you are accessing the docker host remotely, replace localhost with the IP or server name of the host.)

Migrate from data container to host directory/volume

To migrate your PMM from data container to host directory or volume run the following command:

docker cp <containerId>:/srv /target/host/directory
