Support tmpfs-size and tmpfs-mode in compose-file

[luochen1990]

@thaJeztah suggests to use a --mount option as an workaround of --shm-size like that:

docker service create \
  --name tmpfstest \
  --mount type=tmpfs,dst=/dev/shm,tmpfs-size=1000000000 \
  --tty \
  debian:stretch-slim cat

But I can't find anything about how to set the tmpfs-size in the doc about volume-long-syntax. I think this feature should be supported.

Thanks for opening this!

What are you peeps thinking the docker-compose syntax should look like?

Something like this?

volumes:
    - type: tmpfs
       size: 10000

[dnephin]

I think it should match the existing types (bind, volume):

volumes:
 - type: tmpfs
   target: /tmp
   tmpfs:
     size: 10000

[vdemeester]

Sounds like it's been fixed by #808

Looks tmpfs-mode one is not implemented yet. Only tmpfs: size: ... is implemented.

@ypresto could you open a new issue, so that we don't loose sight?

Actually the supported mount options are the same as the Linux default mount flags. If you do not specify any options, the systems uses the following options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=65536k, it's just that the documentation is incorrect.

This actually does what it's supposed to:

version: "2.4"
services:
  my_app:
    image: my_app
    read_only: true
    restart: always
    tmpfs:
      - /run:mode=770,size=1k,uid=200,gid=10000

It'll set /run mode to 770 with a 1k size limit and owned by uid 200 and gid 10000

   tmpfs:
     size: 10000

Is this configuration valid?

for me it does not work, or at least is not using /dev/shm

this works I can validate it looking with this command "df -h" looking to the increase space used by shm

• /dev/shm:/transcode
  but you can't limit the size

Is there a command or something to see how tmpfs is filling?
