Joomla docker commit and restart

[thisistheredteam]

hello people! Hope your having a great day working from home.

I'm currently done building my joomla docker container. What i'm trying to do is commit it to a new image and launch it from the new image without too much configuration..

However when my mqsql container was ready I launched my commited image by entering : docker run --name joomlacool --link mysql:db -e JOOMLA_DB_HOST=db:3306 -e JOOMLA_DB_USER=joomla -e JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD=redacted -p 80:80 -d joomlacool

Joomla worked fine but sadly I had to redo the initial installation of Joomla.. also my plugins were not there anymore. Other data included in the filesystem like user files where still present.

So i'm looking to re-run the container how I left it when I commited the image.

Thanks in advance
