github.com/pwn-term/docker@v0.0.0-20210616085119-6e977cce2565/cli/man/src/volume/create.md (about) 1 Creates a new volume that containers can consume and store data in. If a name 2 is not specified, Docker generates a random name. You create a volume and then 3 configure the container to use it, for example: 4 5 $ docker volume create hello 6 hello 7 $ docker run -d -v hello:/world busybox ls /world 8 9 The mount is created inside the container's `/src` directory. Docker does 10 not support relative paths for mount points inside the container. 11 12 Multiple containers can use the same volume in the same time period. This is 13 useful if two containers need access to shared data. For example, if one 14 container writes and the other reads the data. 15 16 ## Driver specific options 17 18 Some volume drivers may take options to customize the volume creation. Use the 19 `-o` or `--opt` flags to pass driver options: 20 21 $ docker volume create --driver fake --opt tardis=blue --opt timey=wimey 22 23 These options are passed directly to the volume driver. Options for different 24 volume drivers may do different things (or nothing at all). 25 26 The built-in `local` driver on Windows does not support any options. 27 28 The built-in `local` driver on Linux accepts options similar to the linux 29 `mount` command: 30 31 $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=tmpfs --opt device=tmpfs --opt o=size=100m,uid=1000 32 33 Another example: 34 35 $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=btrfs --opt device=/dev/sda2
