I am new to Docker and trying to run a container in Docker on my macOS so it doesn’t run on persistent memory. On my Linux machine, I figured I can execute it this way:

sudo docker run -dit --name minemeld --restart unless-stopped --tmpfs /run -v minemeld-local:/opt/minemeld/local -v minemeld-logs:/opt/minemeld/log  -p 443:443 -p 80:80 paloaltonetworks/minemeld

However, though macOS takes this command, the container doesn’t run as intended. Specifically, I see the following messages:

Regenarating CA bundle
2020-01-10T18:54:01 (232)cacert_merge.main INFO: config: {'cafile': ['/opt/minemeld/local/certs/site/'], 'dst': '/opt/minemeld/local/certs/bundle.crt', 'config': '/opt/minemeld/local/certs/cacert-merge-config.yml', 'no_merge_certifi': False}
(integer) 0

minemeld: checking if dependencies are running...
run: redis: (pid 17) 22s
run: collectd: (pid 22) 22s
Copying constraints
Regenarating CA bundle

I have created a RAM disk for now called “DockerDisk:

SJCMAC:~ jaydee$ ls /Volumes/
DockerDisk  Macintosh HD    Recovery

How do I run my docker container to point to this volume? In other words, what exactly do I change from the syntax above to achieve this on macOS? I’d appreciate any pointers.

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    Resolved the issue by symlink'ing my docker volumes with the disk image drive I created and then started the container without tmpfs.


  2. Docker for Mac doesn’t support tmpfs. It’s linux specific feature.
