Docker Container symbolic links not available in Host volume

  • 1.  Docker Container symbolic links not available in Host volume

    Posted Sun February 26, 2023 05:56 PM

    I am using the following docker-compose.yaml file:

    version: '3.3'
    services:
        db2:
            container_name: db2inst1
            restart: always
            privileged: true
            env_file:
              - .env_list
            ports:
                - '50000:50000'
            volumes:
                - './db2_home:/database'
            image: icr.io/db2_community/db2

    This will create a db2_home directory on the Host.

    I can cd into db2_home/config/db2inst1/sqllib on the Host and I have access to many things.

    But there are many directories that are symbolic links to /opt/ibm/db2/V11.5 which are broken(not available) on the Host.

    How should I modify the compose file so I can access these directories on the Host?

    I am most interested in the following directories: include, samples and lib (which itself is a symbolic link to lib64)
