Creating A Container.
Users can take advantage of the container create wizard to create a new container.
To get there:
- Environments from the main, left-hand navigation.
- Select environment from first column.
- Button Deploy Container on the top right hand side of environment dashboard.
Container Volumes.
Using the wizard, any container can have a container created either locally (local to the server its being deployed to) or mounted from an external volume source.
To open the configuration click on the pencil in a box icon near the end of the row.
This opens a mini-modal where external volumes can be configured if desired OR local volumes can be further refined.
To set the external volume click on the external volume option and select the server from the dropdown, then select whether the external volume is a block device or not (this cannot be changed later).
When done configuring, close the modal to save and move on with configuration settings for the rest of the container.
Image Select and Volumes
In order to see the volume options in the deploy wizard the image must be selected.
