As a part of initializing Gateway Service, BAM mounts data and logs folder on the
BDDS. This is contrary to deployment on Docker, where BlueCat recommends using Docker
volumes as a best practice. However, for Gateway Service on BDDS specifically, mounted
volumes work better with the BDDS file system and ensure data persistence when patching
or upgrading BDDS.
Gateway Data - /root/gwdata/
- Stores any changes made to the Gateway configuration of a running container
- Shared directory for any image loaded onto BDDS, meaning if you replace images, the containers will write the runtime data to /root/gwdata/
- Do not use for app, plugin, or workflow data; use the Built-in workspace and generate a custom image
- Gateway Logs: /var/log/gateway - Gateway system logs
- BDDS Logs: /var/log/commandServer.log - Docker status and Gateway status
