Should I Switch from Bind Mounts to Docker Volumes for My Containers?

Honestly, it depends on your use case. Both bind mounts and Docker volumes have their place. If your current setup is working fine for you, there might not be any need to switch.

Check out this video for a deeper understanding: https://youtu.be/keINzeYs_lc. It explains how both options differ and when you might want to use one over the other.

Bind mounts give you a lot of control since you decide where they live and how they function. You can see the files directly without needing to exec into your containers for changes. However, managing permissions and other aspects falls on you. Also, if you ever want to connect to different types of storage solutions like S3 or NFS, Docker volumes would be better since they have various plugins for that.

For more detailed info, you can refer to Docker's documentation on storage here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/. But just a heads up, it doesn’t give a thorough comparison of their pros and cons.
