# Docker Container Options
> New as of 0.3.17
Pass [options](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/) to Docker during Dokku's `build`, `deploy` and `run` phases
```
docker-options <app> [phase(s)] Display app's Docker options for all phases (or comma separated phase list)
docker-options:add <app> <phase(s)> OPTION Add Docker option to app for phase (comma-separated phase list)
docker-options:remove <app> <phase(s)> OPTION Remove Docker option from app for phase (comma-separated phase list)
```
> When specifying multiple phases, they **must** be comma-separated _without_ spaces in between each phase, like so:
>
> ```
> dokku docker-options:add myapp deploy,run "-v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs"
> ```
## About Dokku phases
Dokku deploys your application in multiple "phases" and the `docker-options` plugin allows you to pass arguments to their underlying docker container:
- `build`: the container that executes the appropriate buildpack
- `deploy`: the container that executes your running/deployed application
- `run`: the container that executes any arbitrary command via `dokku run myapp`
## Examples
### Add Docker options
Add some options for the deployed/running app and when executing [`dokku run`](deployment/one-off-processes/):
```shell
# Mount a host volume in a Docker container: "-v /host/path:/container/path"
dokku docker-options:add myapp deploy "-v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs"
dokku docker-options:add myapp run "-v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs"
```
> Note: When [mounting a host directory](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#volume-shared-filesystems) in a Dokku app you should first create that directory as user `dokku` and then mount the directory under `/app` in the container using `docker-options` as above. Otherwise the app will lack write permission in the directory.
### Output Docker options
```shell
dokku docker-options myapp
# Deploy options:
# -v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs
# Run options:
# -v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs
```
### Remove a Docker option
```shell
dokku docker-options:remove myapp run "-v /home/dokku/logs/myapp:/app/logs"
```
## Advanced usage
In your applications folder `/home/dokku/app_name` create a file called `DOCKER_OPTIONS_RUN` (or `DOCKER_OPTIONS_BUILD` or `DOCKER_OPTIONS_DEPLOY`).
Inside this file list one Docker option per line. For example:
```shell
--link container_name:alias
-v /host/path:/container/path
-v /another/container/path
```
The above example will result in the following options being passed to Docker during `dokku run`:
```shell
--link container_name:alias -v /host/path:/container/path -v /another/container/path
```
You may also include comments (lines beginning with a #) and blank lines in the DOCKER_OPTIONS file.
