volume from doesn't appear to work

[taylodl]

I start a maven container and give it the name 'maven' using docker's --name option. In my pom.xml I've configured my image as follows:

<image>
   <name>taylodl/wls-mydomain</name>
  <run>
   <volumes>
      <from>maven</from>
   </volumes>
         .
         .
         .  

When I run maven I get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.jolokia:docker-maven-plugin:0.10.6-SNAPSHOT:start (start) on project jaxRS-maven: No container start order could be found: Cannot resolve image dependencies for start order
[ERROR] Unresolved images:
[ERROR] taylodl/wls-mydomain depends on maven

If I run taylodl/wls-mydomain using the docker run option "--volumes-from maven" then everything runs as I expect and the volumes are mounted where I expect. I was expecting to accomplish the same thing.

With the from you reference a container created from an image, which should be configured in this configuration, too. The name then either is the full <name> or an <alias>.

This maven container which you are referencing, where does it come from ? (could you post your complete plugin configuration ?)

The next version will provide more flexibility when binding to volumes (e.g. also local ones).

Ok, that wasn't clear that the had to refer to an image created by this plugin. I'm trying to refer to an image already running in a container named 'maven'. I'm really looking for docker's --volume-from functionality.

that functionality doesn't currently exist but i think that could be easily added. an additional element (maybe external) could be added to the existing volumes element that could be used to reference volumes created outside the container.

fixed in 0.13.2
