Enhancement to support docker volumes for data persistence

  3. Support for attaching external storage directly to containers with minimal configuration

    I created a parallel environment in our internal server. I tried mounting different paths on the server and it take 5-10 min to start the container but it didn't persist the data also facing different issues such as app connect didn't start and when it started it didn't persist the data. Also tried mounting parent folders and the sub-folders individually but it didn't help.

    We need to mount the paths in host/parent machine so that the data will persist even if the docker container restarted or a new container is started

    Idea review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this suggestion. The App Connect Operator already supports the provision of custom mounts on the IntegrationRuntime CR for the ACE runtime container. This page reference documents how to use volumeMounts and volumes: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/containers_cd?topic=resources-integration-runtime-reference which is also described in this Community blog entry: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/integration/blogs/rob-convery1/2022/10/10/ibm-app-connect-in-containers

    If we have somehow misunderstood what is being requested here then please feel free to expand in a new idea.
