Podman : Use External Storage
2019/10/11
 
When Container is removed, data in it are also lost, so it's necessary to use external storage on Container if you need.
[1] It's possible to mount a directory on Container Host into Containers as a external storage.
# create a directory

[root@dlp ~]#
mkdir -p /var/lib/containers/disk01

# run container with mounting the directory on /mnt

# if SELinux is [Enforcing], needs [--privileged] option like follows

[root@dlp ~]#
podman run --privileged -it -v /var/lib/containers/disk01:/mnt centos /bin/bash
[root@ecb1c14afb13 /]#
df -hT
