blockbridge/volume-plugin repository overview

⁠Blockbridge Volume Plugin for Docker

The Blockbridge Volume Plugin integrates Docker with Blockbridge elastic storage using the v2 Docker Plugin API. The plugin provides access to high-performance storage with advanced security, mobility, backup and restore capabilities.

⁠Software Requirements

• Docker Version: 1.13.1+
• Blockbridge Version: 3.1+

⁠Supported Features

Standard management functions are available using native Docker tools. Extended storage management functions are available using Blockbridge tools. The table below summarizes support for each set of interfaces.

⁠Installing the Plugin

⁠Required Parameters

The following variables specify the address and authentication meterials needed for the plugin to communicate with the Blockbridge Storage API.

• BLOCKBRIDGE_API_HOST
• BLOCKBRIDGE_API_KEY

⁠Recommended Parameters

By default, Docker will associate each volume with the versioned name of the plugin that created it. This is known to present significant issues if you need to upgrade. We highly recommend using a plugin alias.

• --alias blockbridge

⁠Example

$ docker plugin install --alias blockbridge blockbridge/volume-plugin \
  BLOCKBRIDGE_API_KEY="1/AZQ+qUfETE2ePp7kR5VOfzFjvaScCZ0iXPUF5uzES3oxlD6pR8RNDA" \
  BLOCKBRIDGE_API_HOST="10.10.10.10"
