title: Can I run two different mysql docker containers using a shared data volume?
body: <p>Given hypothetical scenario:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>I have two different identical docker containers (say <a href="https://nginxproxymanager.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nginx proxy manager</a> for example).</li>
  <li>Both docker containers run on separate host machines with a mounted NFS drive at path /mnt/data.</li>
  <li>Both docker containers define their mysql data directory as /mnt/data, which is mapped to the same point on the NFS mount.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>What potential problems could there be if both applications are running at the same time?</p>
