Volume-related commands
The basis of volume-related commands is docker volume. The commands are as follows:
$docker volume create
: Creates a volume$ docker volume inspect
: Displays detailed information on one or more volumes$docker volume ls
: Lists volumes$ docker volume rm
: removes one or more volumes$ docker volume prune
: removes all unused volumes, which is all volumes that are no longer mapped into any container
Similar to network-related commands, you can get the detailed description and all the possible options for each command if you execute it with the -help
switch, for example: docker volume create -help
. Let's begin with creating a volume.
