  - Volt on Docker overview
    HCL Domino Volt 1.0 includes a Docker-compatible Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) of Volt that is part of your entitlement and available for download through the HCL Licensing Portal. HCL Domino Volt 1.0 is pre-installed on this image – this allows you to deploy a Volt server as a container with just a few commands.
  - Loading the volt-docker tar archive file to Docker
    The first step to deploy a Volt server on Docker is loading the volt-docker tar archive file to Docker. This creates the image that is used to create containers.

    - Creating a temporary Docker container for remote server setup
      To deploy a new Volt server as a Docker container, first create a temporary container to complete remote Domino server setup.
    - Creating a Docker container for Volt
      After you have set up a new Volt server using a temporary container, create the container to run the Volt server.
    - Completing the Volt server configuration
      After your Volt server starts, use your Notes or Domino Administrator client to complete the server configuration.

Creating the Docker volume to store the data directory

After you load the volt-docker image to Docker, create a Docker volume. The Docker volume is a persistent location to hold the Domino data directory.

Note: Create a volume once for a given Volt server. It is easy to remove and recreate a Volt container – for example to upgrade to a new version of Volt. In the case of an upgrade, the volume persists and the data directory is reused.

Procedure

Create the Docker volume for the data directory:

docker volume create <volume name>

For example, to create a volume named notesdata:

docker volume create notesdata
