# In-memory storage driver (Testing Only)

For purely tests purposes, you can use the `inmemory` storage driver. This
driver is an implementation of the `storagedriver.StorageDriver` interface which
uses local memory for object storage. If you would like to run a registry from
volatile memory, use the [`filesystem` driver](filesystem.md) on a ramdisk.

**IMPORTANT**: This storage driver *does not* persist data across runs. This is why it is only suitable for testing. *Never* use this driver in production.

Fixes Issue #471 with Publish - Add sed to Dockerfile; this sed exists on publish script; breaks headings/nav in files without metadata - Ensure sed runs over storage-driver/ subdir - Add metadata to all the files (including specs) that don't have it; this ensures they display correctly on publish - Implement the fix for the showing up in Github - Update template with GITHUB IGNORES Signed-off-by: Mary Anthony <mary@docker.com> 2015-04-29 19:20:09 +00:00
