Initialize data on dockerized mongo

Question

I\'m running a dockerized mongo container.

I\'d like to create a mongo image with some initialized data.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

with the latest release of mongo docker , something like this works for me.

FROM mongo
COPY dump /home/dump
COPY mongo_restore.sh /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

the mongo restore script looks like this.

#!/bin/bash
# Restore from dump
mongorestore --drop --gzip --db "" /home/dump

and you could build the image normally.

docker build -t  .
