> Containers are not meant to store data. Actually, they are meant by design to NOT store data. Any attempt to go against this philosophy is bound to disaster.

Yes, I am replying to that point. It’s incorrect, or at least misleading. Containers are meant to store any data that they have to externally; volumes are a facility to do this. Storing your data in an ephemeral container would absolutely be stupid, and the risk of unrecoverable corruption after a crash should be low if you’re not experiencing frequent kernel panics.
