Description

Hi

When I run the docker container for InfluxDB I mount two volumes with it. It looks something like this:

docker run -d \
--name influxdb \
--restart always \
--network bridge \
-v /${DOCKER_INSTALL_DIR}/influx/data:/var/lib/influxdb2 \
-v /${DOCKER_INSTALL_DIR}/influx/config/config.yml:/etc/influxdb2/config.yml \
-p 8086:8086 \
influxdb:2.0.7:latest

But the Image always creates also a volume and mount's it, even I didn't create the volume or even mount it. Is there a way to prevent the docker image from doing this?

The Volume look's like this:

Mount path: /var/lib/docker/volumes/8720d57/_data
Mounted At: /etc/influxdb2

Inside the Volume is an empty "config.yml"

I don't know if this is my configuration fault or if it's a fault by the docker image.
Every time I create a new container from this image, it creates a new volume.

Thank you for your help.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported docker run command with influxdb:2.0.7:latest and inspect the resulting container mounts and image metadata. Determine whether the extra /etc/influxdb2 volume is intentional or unexpected; done means the behavior is corrected or clearly documented, with the reproduction result captured.
