Using data volumes is as simple as adding a new flag: ``-v``. The parameter ``-v`` can be used more than once in order to create more volumes within the new container. The example below shows the instruction to create a container with two new volumes::

If "host-dir" is missing, then docker creates a new volume.
This is not available for a Dockerfile due the portability and sharing purpose of it. The [host-dir] volumes is something 100% host dependent and will break on any other machine.

For example::
sudo docker run -v /var/logs:/var/host_logs:ro shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03
