Documented steps Create a named volume: docker volume create mydata Verify it exists and see its host mountpoint: docker volume inspect mydata Attach with the explicit --mount form: docker run -d --name app --mount source=mydata,target=/data nginx:latest Or use the short -v form: docker run -d -v mydata:/data nginx:latest Mark read-only with --mount source=mydata,target=/data,ro or the -v mydata:/data:ro shorthand Stop, remove the container, then remove the volume when cleaning up: docker container rm app && docker volume rm mydata For Compose, declare volumes: under the service and a top-level volumes: map so docker compose up creates it once and reuses it Known gotchas A missing volume is auto-created on docker run, so creation is often implicit Mount points must be absolute; relative paths inside the container are not supported Volume names must be unique among drivers; reusing a name on the same driver just reuses the existing volume silently Mounting an empty volume over a directory with existing files copies them into the volume by default; disable with volume-nocopy Mounting a non-empty volume over existing files hides (obscures) those original files - recreate the container without the mount to expose them Anonymous volumes persist after container removal unless the container used --rm Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/volume/create/ and https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/
