How to retain DynamoDB table and data when closing Docker?

[ricbrue]

Hi, I am looking for a method to retain DynamoDB data when powering off the PC, when it restarts (and then I restart the Docker image) I have to manually recreate the DynamoDB table and insert the new data (old data is lost). How can I maintain the DynamoDB table data when turning off the Docker engine?

You can use volume option (-v, --volume) and bind to container's /var/lib/dynamodb.

docker run -v $HOME/.local/dynamodb:/var/lib/dynamodb -p 8000:8000 -it --rm instructure/dynamo-local-admin
