If you want to preserve data in the event of a container deletion, or version upgrade, you can assign the MySQL data into a named volume:

docker volume create --name mysqldocker run -d --name limesurvey -v mysql:/var/lib/mysql -p 80:80 unixelias/limesurvey:latest

If you delete the container simply run again the above command. The installation page will appear again. Don't worry just put the same parameters as before and limesurvey will recognize the database.

If you want to preserve the uploaded files in the event of a container deletion, or version upgrade, you can assign the upload folder into a named volume:

docker volume create --name uploaddocker run -d --name limesurvey -v upload:/app/upload -v mysql:/var/lib/mysql -p 80:80 unixelias/limesurvey:latest

If you delete the container simply run again the above command. The installation page will appear again. Don't worry just put the same parameters as before and limesurvey will recognize the database and the uploaded files including images.

You can use docker compose to automate the above command if you create a file calleddocker-compose.yml and put in there the following:

version: '2'services:  mysqldb:    image: mysql:latest    volumes:      - mysql:/var/lib/mysql    restart: always    hostname: mysqldb    environment:      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: toor      MYSQL_DATABASE: surveys      MYSQL_USER: user      MYSQL_PASSWORD: password  limesurvey:    depends_on:      - mysqldb    volumes:      - upload:/app/upload    image:      unixelias/limesurvey:latestvolumes:  mysql:  upload:

And run:

docker-compose up -d
