Gluster users - Jun 2017 - Persistent storage for docker containers from a Gluster volume

Hello,
I have a two node replica 3.8 GlusterFS cluster and am trying to find out the
best way to use a GlusterFS volume as persistent storage for docker containers
to store their data (e.g. web assets).
I was thinking that the simplest method would be to mount my GlusterFS volume
for that purpose on all docker nodes using FUSE and then simply start containers
which require persistent storage with a mount of bind type. For example here is
how I would create my container requiring persistent storage:
docker service create --name testcontainer --mount
type=bind,source=/mnt/gustervol/testcontainer,target=/mnt alpine
What do you think about that? Is this a good way? or is the even a better way?

Regards,
M.

If you are using kubernetes, then please have a look at

https://github.com/gluster/gluster-kubernetes

Otherwise, what you are suggesting works.
