# Docker Container Options
> New as of 0.3.17
Pass [options](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/) to Docker during Dokku's `build`, `deploy` and `run` phases
```
docker-options:add <app> <phase(s)> OPTION # Add Docker option to app for phase (comma-separated phase list)
docker-options:clear <app> [<phase(s)>...] # Clear a docker options from application
docker-options:remove <app> <phase(s)> OPTION # Remove Docker option from app for phase (comma-separated phase list)
docker-options:report [<app>] [<flag>] # Displays a docker options report for one or more apps
```
> When specifying multiple phases, they **must** be comma-separated _without_ spaces in between each phase, like so:
>
> ```shell
> dokku docker-options:add node-js-app deploy,run "-v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs"
> ```
## About Dokku phases
Dokku deploys your application in multiple "phases" and the `docker-options` plugin allows you to pass arguments to their underlying docker container:
- `build`: the container that executes the appropriate buildpack
- `deploy`: the container that executes your running/deployed application
- `run`: the container that executes any arbitrary command via `dokku run`
## Examples
### Add Docker options
Add some options for the deployed/running app and when executing [`dokku run`](/docs/deployment/one-off-processes.md):
```shell
# Mount a host volume in a Docker container: "-v /host/path:/container/path"
dokku docker-options:add node-js-app deploy "-v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs"
dokku docker-options:add node-js-app run "-v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs"
```
> Note: When [mounting a host directory](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#volume-shared-filesystems) in a Dokku app you should first create that directory as user `dokku` and then mount the directory under `/app` in the container using `docker-options` as above. Otherwise the app will lack write permission in the directory.
### Remove a Docker option
```shell
dokku docker-options:remove node-js-app run "-v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs"
```
### Clear all Docker options for an app
Docker options can be removed for a specific app using the `docker-options:clear` command.
```shell
dokku docker-options:clear node-js-app
```
```
-----> Clearing docker-options for node-js-app on all phases
```
One or more valid phases can also be specified. Phases are comma delimited, and specifying an invalid phase will result in an error.
```shell
dokku docker-options:clear node-js-app run
```
```
-----> Clearing docker-options for node-js-app on phase run
```
```shell
dokku docker-options:clear node-js-app build,run
```
```
-----> Clearing docker-options for node-js-app on phase build
-----> Clearing docker-options for node-js-app on phase run
```
### Displaying docker-options reports for an app
> New as of 0.8.1
You can get a report about the app's docker-options status using the `docker-options:report` command:
```shell
dokku docker-options:report
```
```
=====> node-js-app docker options information
Docker options build:
Docker options deploy: -v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs
Docker options run: -v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs
=====> python-sample docker options information
Docker options build:
Docker options deploy:
Docker options run:
=====> ruby-sample docker options information
Docker options build:
Docker options deploy:
Docker options run:
```
You can run the command for a specific app also.
```shell
dokku docker-options:report node-js-app
```
```
=====> node-js-app docker options information
Docker options build:
Docker options deploy: -v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs
Docker options run: -v /var/log/node-js-app:/app/logs
```
You can pass flags which will output only the value of the specific information you want. For example:
```shell
dokku docker-options:report node-js-app --docker-options-build
```
## Advanced usage
In your applications folder `/home/dokku/app_name` create a file called `DOCKER_OPTIONS_RUN` (or `DOCKER_OPTIONS_BUILD` or `DOCKER_OPTIONS_DEPLOY`).
Inside this file list one Docker option per line. For example:
```shell
--link container_name:alias
-v /host/path:/container/path
-v /another/container/path
```
The above example will result in the following options being passed to Docker during `dokku run`:
```shell
--link container_name:alias -v /host/path:/container/path -v /another/container/path
```
You may also include comments (lines beginning with a #) and blank lines in the DOCKER_OPTIONS file.
