So far I have posted the below posts:
1. Beginners guide to docker which has covered the basic understanding about dockers
2. Types of Docker installation
3. Download, Install and Delete Dockers

As we all know how great the linux file system and security features are. But when we dealt with containers, the same kind of security resides in it also. To get better understanding of how does the file mounting system works, I tried to launch a container named “writer” with read and write permissions to a folder inside it and same time it has been mounted with my local windows directory.

After that, I have launched same container with another name “reader” which has only read only rights and same directory is also mounted to my local directory with read only permissions too.

Then I tried to make changes in writer container by creating a file name “simple.txt” and found the same file is in my local windows mounted directory. The same simple.txt file can be read by the reader container also but it it tries to write anything on it, it says access denied.

This clearly demonstrates how securely we can share the files in the container with other containers without loosing any feature functionality.

As per below image, there are 2 x Alpine container with writer and reader name has been spin up in the docker container. Both the containers are sharing the /data folder to host directory with right and read access.
