     4  # NAME
     5  docker-volume-create - Create a new volume
     6  
     7  # SYNOPSIS
     8  **docker volume create**
     9  [**-d**|**--driver**[=*DRIVER*]]
    10  [**--help**]
    11  [**--name**[=*NAME*]]
    12  [**-o**|**--opt**[=*[]*]]
    13  
    14  # DESCRIPTION
    15  
    16  Creates a new volume that containers can consume and store data in. If a name is not specified, Docker generates a random name. You create a volume and then configure the container to use it, for example:
    17  
    18    ```
    19    $ docker volume create --name hello
    20    hello
    21    $ docker run -d -v hello:/world busybox ls /world
    22    ```
    23  
    24  The mount is created inside the container's `/src` directory. Docker doesn't not support relative paths for mount points inside the container. 
    25  
    26  Multiple containers can use the same volume in the same time period. This is useful if two containers need access to shared data. For example, if one container writes and the other reads the data.
    27  
    28  ## Driver specific options
    29  
    30  Some volume drivers may take options to customize the volume creation. Use the `-o` or `--opt` flags to pass driver options:
    31  
    32    ```
    33    $ docker volume create --driver fake --opt tardis=blue --opt timey=wimey
    34    ```
    35  
    36  These options are passed directly to the volume driver. Options for
    37  different volume drivers may do different things (or nothing at all).
    38  
    39  *Note*: The built-in `local` volume driver does not currently accept any options.
