#### Easier to handle
docker run --name yacy -p 8090:8090 luccioman/yacy
docker run --name yacy -p 8090:8090 --log-opt max-size=100m --log-opt max-file=2 luccioman/yacy
--name option allow easier management of your container (without it, docker automatically generate a new name at each startup).
##### Options detail
-p option map host port and container port, allowing web interface access through the usual http://localhost:8090.
* --name : allow easier management of your container (without it, docker automatically generate a new name at each startup).
* -p : map host port and container port, allowing web interface access through the usual http://localhost:8090.
* --log-opt max-size : limit maximum docker log file size for this container
* --log-opt max-file : limit number of docker rotated log files for this container
Note : if you do not specify the log related options, when running a YaCy container 24hour a day with default log level, your Docker container log file will grow up to some giga bytes in a few days!
#### Handle persistent data volume
As configured in the Dockerfile, by default yacy data (in /opt/yacy_search_server/DATA) will persist after container stop or deletion, in a volume with an automatically generated id.
Bu you may map a host directory to hold yacy data in container :
But you may map a host directory to hold yacy data in container :
docker run -v [/your_host/data/directory]:/opt/yacy_search_server/DATA luccioman/yacy

### Upgrade
You can upgrade your YaCy container the Docker way with the following commands sequence.
Get latest Docker image :
docker pull luccioman/yacy:latest
OR
docker pull luccioman/yacy:latest-alpine
Create new container based on pulled image, using volume data from old container :
docker create --name [tmp-container_name] -p 8090:8090 --volumes-from=[container_name] luccioman/yacy:latest
Stop old container :
docker exec [container_name] /opt/yacy_search_server/stopYACY.sh
Start new container :
docker start [tmp-container_name]
Check everything works fine, then you can delete old container :
docker rm [container_name]
Rename new container to reuse same container name :
docker rename [tmp-container_name] [container_name]
