Tips from Expert
Follow these best practices tips to maximize performance of a TDV container:
Naming For a Container: A docker container name should be specified when launching the container. If it is not specified a system generated name will be used and this cannot be changed later. It is easier to manage your TDV Docker container if you give it a unique name.
Ports: A Docker container is a runtime instance of a Docker image. Use a new docker image when you have to use custom ports for the different TDV functionalities. When using custom ports, make sure you map it appropriately while launching the ports. If the mapping is not done appropriately, the default ports defined in the Docker image will be used.
Storage: It is important to allocate a persistent storage volume for a TDV Docker container. Make sure you create the appropriate Docker volume and use the -v option (mount) when launching a TDV Docker container.
