Volumes

Delays in writing to the dataLog can make Zookeeper sad, so folks often recommend separate disks for the dataDir and the dataLogDir. I've exposed "data" and "data-log" as volumes so that you can attach them independently, ideally to separate physical disks.

Using Docker Data Containers

Just Using Data Containers

docker run -d -v /data --name zookeeper-data ubuntu:14.04 true
docker run -d -v /data-log --name zookeeper-data-log ubuntu:14.04 ubuntu:14.04 true

Seperate Physical Disks

docker run -d -v /disk1/zookeeper/data/:/data --name zookeeper-data ubuntu:14.04 true
docker run -d -v /disk2/zookeeper/data-log/:/data-log --name zookeeper-data-log ubuntu:14.04 true

Starting with Data Containers

docker run -e ZK_SERVER_ID=1 --restart=on-failure:10 --name zookeeper -p 2181:2181 -p 2888:2888 -p 3888:3888 -e HOSTS=pet100,pet110,pet120 -m 2g --volumes-from zookeeper-data --volumes-from zookeeper-data-log boritzio/docker-zookeeper
