NAME

       docker-volume-create - Create a volume

SYNOPSIS

       docker volume create [OPTIONS] [VOLUME]

DESCRIPTION

       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:

              $ docker volume create hello
              hello
              $ docker run -d -v hello:/world busybox ls /world

       The mount is created inside the container's /src directory. Docker does not support  relative  paths  for
       mount points inside the container.

       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.

Driver specific options

       Some volume drivers may take options to customize the volume creation. Use the -o or --opt flags to  pass
       driver options:

              $ docker volume create --driver fake --opt tardis=blue --opt timey=wimey

       These  options  are  passed  directly  to  the volume driver. Options for different volume drivers may do
       different things (or nothing at all).

       The built-in local driver on Windows does not support any options.

       The built-in local driver on Linux accepts options similar to the linux mount command:

              $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=tmpfs --opt device=tmpfs --opt o=size=100m,uid=1000

       Another example:

              $ docker volume create --driver local --opt type=btrfs --opt device=/dev/sda2

OPTIONS

       -d, --driver="local"      Specify volume driver name

       -h, --help[=false]      help for create

       --label=      Set metadata for a volume

       -o, --opt=map[]      Set driver specific options
