2	2	When you need to read and write files from an on-premise disk, you need to know the path in which the data is stored and ensure that the docker container in your runtime(s) running has access to this path. There are several ways of dealing with this challenge. This microlearning will discuss the various alternatives and best approaches in these scenarios.

12	12	This microlearning centers around learning how to correctly set up your volume mapping so you can exchange file-based data on-premise.

14		-By volume mapping, we mean creating a configuration through which the docker container can read and write data on a specific path on an on-premise machine. Note that the data can also be stored inside the docker container when (1) the other party writing or reading the data can access this path or (2) when the data is only relevant within the context of eMagiz.

34		-Below, we will explain the differences between the various options available for your volume mapping. But before we do this, we explain how to set up this configuration within eMagiz. First, you must navigate to Deploy -> Architecture on the model level. This overview lets you access the Volume mapping per runtime deployed on-premise. And then, you can right-click on the runtime to access the context menu.

85	85	* In the case of using the Volume option in combination with a Machine volume, the external system with which you exchange data on-premise via a file-based method needs to be able to write or read the data from the volume (i.e., directory) you have configured. Should this be a problem, the Bind mount alternative discussed below should be considered.
86	86	* The Volume option and Machine volume combination can also be used for eMagiz-only information that needs to be persistable, such as archiving.
87	87	* In the case of using the Volume option in combination with a Network volume, the path to read and write from becomes what you define in the target field.
88		-* In case of mapping a volume on a windows host machine to another one on a windows docker runtime, the following small adjustment is required when writing the source/target paths:

114	114	The temporary file system option is for you if you do not want to work with **persistent** data but require **non-persistent** data. This way, you can increase the container's performance by avoiding writing into the container's writable layer.

129		-A named pipe is a named, one-way or duplex pipe for communication between the pipe server and one or more pipe clients. All instances of a named pipe share the same pipe name, but each instance has its own buffers and handles, and provides a separate conduit for client/server communication. Any process can access named pipes, subject to security checks, making named pipes an easy form of communication between related or unrelated processes.
