When I run docker-compose up -d my

Answer 1

I had the same problem with my Windows 10 Enterprise, I couldn't find perfect solution around it because it seems to be my Windows version issue - I have ran the same image on other windows (8 & 10 professional) successfully. My temporary work around was to remove the /var/lib/mysql mount entirely from the docker-compose file allowing the database data files to be created and modified in the container itself.

I use kitematics which will restart and reattach my created container anytime I want to work on the container, like that I don't loose my data when the container exit. If you don't use kitematics this what it does. After running docker-compose the image will be created and a container will be created to run it as well, I avoid using run on the created image because this will create new container I stick to running the following sequentially

docker ps -a                 # this command will get container_id of all container, those that are running and those that are not
docker start   # start container from background
docker attach  # attach container to standard input

With these docker commands my data were preserved in the container even after exiting and restarting

BACK UP

Now whenever I want to move the data, I will commit my container into an image and save the image to local storage

docker commit  :<1_31_2017> # I use date to tag it
docker save -o  

RESTORE

Whenever I need to restore the mysql container either on my computer or for a new programming intern

cd 
docker load -o  

This solution is for your update

 File ./ib_logfile101: 'aio write' returned OS error 122. Cannot continue operation

I hope this helps somebody
