Why having shared folders between containers ?

[vchatela]

It is a very bad practice to share mount volumes between multiple containers, containers must communicate via middleware services (API for ex.).

In addition, this blocks a deployment on kubernetes because longhorn volumes cannot be mount by multiple pods, making it impossible to run on kubernetes unless using totally unsupported and very bad practice NFS shared share that will at some point corrupt the DB.

Any reason to stick to that ?

I noticed the same thing. Also, the environment variables are duplicated, and I'm not sure if it's by design (e.g. required) or just some copy-paste. Same with the volume mounts.
