🐳 Docker Storage Migration Tool 📦

dsmt is a command-line utility for seamlessly exporting and importing Docker volumes and bind mounts.

🔍 Overview

DSMT (Docker Storage Migration Tool) provides a simple way to:

• 📤 Export Docker volumes or bind mounts to compressed tarballs.
• 📥 Import compressed tarballs into Docker volumes or bind mounts.

🔄 This tool makes it easy to backup, restore, or migrate Docker storage across systems.

💻 Installation

npm install -g dsmt

🚀 Usage

📤 Exporting Docker Storage

Export a Docker volume:

dsmt export volume_name /path/to/export/directory

Export a bind mount:

dsmt export /path/to/bind/mount /path/to/export/directory

📥 Importing Docker Storage

Import to a Docker volume:

dsmt import /path/to/tarball.tar.gz volume_name

Import to a bind mount:

dsmt import /path/to/tarball.tar.gz /path/to/bind/mount

⚙️ Options

Both commands support the following options:

• -v, --volume: Explicitly specify source/destination as a Docker volume
• -b, --bind: Explicitly specify source/destination as a bind mount

The tool will automatically detect the source/destination type in most cases, but you can use these flags to be explicit.

📋 Examples

# Export a volume named 'mongodb_data' to the current directory
dsmt export mongodb_data ./

# Import a tarball to a new volume
dsmt import ./mongodb_data.tar.gz new_mongodb_data

# Export a bind mount to the /backups directory
dsmt export /var/www/html /backups

# Import a tarball to a bind mount
dsmt import ./html.tar.gz /var/www/html
