Docker Data Volume Container - Can I share across swarm

Question

I know how to create and mount a data volume container to multiple other containers using --volumes-from, but I do have a few questions regarding it\'s usage and limitations:

Answer 1

Can data volume containers be used/mounted in containers residing on other hosts within a docker swarm?

Docker, by itself, does not provide any facility for either migrating data or sharing data between hosts in a cluster.

How is the performance? is it recommended to structure things this way?

Docker volumes impose very little performance overhead in general, because they're just bind mounts.

Is there a better way to handle sharing of persistent resources across containers and hosts such as NFS?

NFS or any cluster filesystem, such as gluster, can be used to create data volumes that are available to all hosts in a cluster.
