How can I save database changes to the server?

Hello!
When I restart my server or remove the container (via the docker rm myXampp), all database changes are lost. How do I save database changes to the server?

Hi,
if you remove the container (as in docker rm [id]), the whole filesystem is destroyed. That means, any changes to the container are lost by definition. You can make your own version of the Dockerfile with an SQL script that sets up the database the way you want it.

Restarting the server shouldn't lose all database changes, but I don't know what is the cause here, sorry :(

have you tried docker commit to apply changes ?
