Step 1 : create a docker volume

Create and manage volumes


Unlike a bind mount, you can create and manage volumes outside the scope of any
container.

Create a volume:

$ docker volume create data-volume

List volumes:

$ docker volume ls

Inspect a volume:

$ docker volume inspect data-volume

Remove a volume:

$ docker volume rm data-volume


Step 2 : create a container with volume

docker run -d -it --name web-host -v myvol2:/data ubuntu:16.04

////Notes

Myvol2 : is created on the host id doenot exist

/data : is created in container if does not exist

docker volume ls

docker volume inspect myvol2

Step 3 : login to container and touch a file

$ docker exec -it web-host /bin/bash


Step 4 : create new new file in the /data directory and exit container

touch data/anil.txt

ls data/

exit

Step 5 : validate if file is there on your existing host file system

ls -l /var/lib/docker/volumes/myvol2/_data

Step 6 : remove the web-host container and create a new container

docker rm -f web-host

docker run -d -it --name new-host -v myvol2:/data ubuntu:16.04

Step 7 : login to container and touch a file

docker exec -it new-host ls -l /data
