I have created a program and tested that works just fine. I decided to dockerize it, and it seems after maybe some hours or few days the data of mongoDB container get all deleted. The docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'
services:
node:
restart: always
build: ./nodeServer
container_name: nodeserver
ports:
- 5000:5000
depends_on:
- database
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.2
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Athens
database:
restart: always
build: ./mongoDump/database
container_name: mongodb
ports:
- 27017:27017
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.4
volumes:
- ./data:/data/db
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Athens
pythonscript:
restart: always
build: ./python
container_name: pythonscript
depends_on:
- database
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.3
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Athens
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 172.24.0.0/24
And the three Dockerfile's that they are builded:
nodeserver:
FROM node:14.16.1
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . ./
CMD [ "npm", "start"]
mongodb:
FROM mongo:5.0.3
CMD docker-entrypoint.sh mongod
pythonscript
FROM python:3.9
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . ./
CMD [ "python", "-u", "./init2.py" ]
As mentioned before without Docker the app works just fine and there isn't that kind of behaviour of database getting wiped out. I have tried also internal Docker storage which also does the same thing. I have tried to check the logs and I saw that there is an error happening in pythonscript container each time database wipes out. I know that an error should happen in pythonscript but there is no such a code anywhere in the app to perform deletion of collections or databases (also without Docker this error still happens but nothing gets deleted).
Any ideas?
you can create a volume external and add the data of the mango into it by this way you data didn't wipe even you turn off your docker-compose
version: '3'
services:
node:
restart: always
build: ./nodeServer
container_name: nodeserver
ports:
- 5000:5000
depends_on:
- database
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.2
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Athens
database:
restart: always
build: ./mongoDump/database
container_name: mongodb
ports:
- 27017:27017
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.4
volumes:
- mongo_data:/data/db
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Athens
pythonscript:
restart: always
build: ./python
container_name: pythonscript
depends_on:
- database
networks:
twitter_articles:
ipv4_address: 172.24.0.3
environment:

networks:
twitter_articles:
ipam:
config:

volumes:
mongo_data:
external: true
now you have to create a volume in your docker using
docker volume create --name=mongo_data
then docker-compose down and
docker-compose up --build -d
You need to make an persistant volume for your database, because as you noted on your docker-compose.yml file you got:
restart: always
so everytime your python script got an error, it's stopped and it's depending on Mariadb, so it's restarted and data got wiped.
