docker volume
Estimated reading time: 1 minuteDescription
Manage volumes
Usage
docker volume COMMAND COMMAND
Child commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| docker volume create | Create a volume |
| docker volume inspect | Display detailed information on one or more volumes |
| docker volume ls | List volumes |
| docker volume prune | Remove all unused volumes |
| docker volume rm | Remove one or more volumes |
Parent command
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| docker | The base command for the Docker CLI. |
Extended description
The docker volume command has subcommands for managing data volumes. A data
volume is a specially-designated directory that by-passes storage driver
management.
Data volumes persist data independent of a container’s life cycle. When you delete a container, the Docker daemon does not delete any data volumes. You can share volumes across multiple containers. Moreover, you can share data volumes with other computing resources in your system.
To see help for a subcommand, use:
docker volume COMMAND --help
For full details on using docker volume visit Docker’s online documentation.
