Using Docker for a database is common during development. It’s easy to set up, and it’s available for many different types of databases.

One drawback is that the data is not saved when the container is removed.

However, there are two methods that can be used to save data in Docker if a container is removed.

These methods are Volumes and Bind Mounts.

In this video, I’ll explain what they are and show you how to set up a container to use each of them.

We’ll use a MySQL database to demonstrate that the database is saved between containers, but this works on many different databases.

This video assumes you have Docker set up already. If not, you can check out any of my other videos:
