Plone on Docker always starts from scratch

I'm trying to develope Plone project with Docker, i have used this official image of Plone 5.2.0, the images is built a run perfectly with:

$ docker build -t plone-5.2.0-official-img .
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -it plone-5.2.0-official-cntr

But the plone restarts each time i run the docker container asking to create the project from skratch.

enter image description here

If this helps,

Volumes are the docker way to persist data. You can read it up over here

When running the container just add a -v option and specify your path to store your data.

$ docker run -p "port:port" -it -v "path"

You can also use a volume for data like:

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -it -v plone-data:/data plone-5.2.0-official-cntr

The next time you'll run a new container it will re-use previous data.

This is expected behavior, because docker run starts a new container, which doesn't have the state from your previous container.

You can use docker start CONTAINER, which will have the state from that CONTAINER's setup https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/start/

A more common approach is to use docker-compose.yml and docker-compose up -d, which will, in most cases, reuse previous state. https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/
