By default the amazon/dynamodb-local docker container starts with the database being only in memory as can be seen in the startup log.

 

According to the documentation that is because I aaded the -inMemory command line option. But I have not. Setting -e inMemory=false also does not disable this option.

 

Can someone please help me to configure the docker container in such a way that the db will be saved?

 

Thank you

Quick look, and you'd have to exec into the running container and then run aws via the command lines.

If anything, it would be via the post arguments field in the template (advanced view), not as an environment variable

I tried that too:

 

Post arguments: -inMemory=false

 

but starting the machine fails with:

 

Unrecognized option: -inMemory
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
