# Write a volume plugin # Write a volume plugin
Docker Engine volume plugins enable Engine deployments to be integrated with Docker Engine volume plugins enable Engine deployments to be integrated with
external storage systems, such as Amazon EBS, and enable data volumes to persist external storage systems such as Amazon EBS, and enable data volumes to persist
beyond the lifetime of a single Engine host. See the beyond the lifetime of a single Docker host. See the

## Command-line changes ## Command-line changes
A volume plugin makes use of the `-v`and `--volume-driver` flag on the `docker run` command. The `-v` flag accepts a volume name and the `--volume-driver` flag a driver type, for example: To give a container access to a volume, use the `--volume` and `--volume-driver`
flags on the `docker container run` command. The `--volume` (or `-v`) flag
accepts a volume name and path on the host, and the `--volume-driver` flag
accepts a driver type.
$ docker run -ti -v volumename:/data --volume-driver=flocker busybox sh ```bash
$ docker volume create --driver=flocker volumename
This command passes the `volumename` through to the volume plugin as a $ docker container run -it --volume volumename:/data busybox sh
user-given name for the volume. The `volumename` must not begin with a `/`. ```
By having the user specify a `volumename`, a plugin can associate the volume ### `--volume`
with an external volume beyond the lifetime of a single container or container
host. This can be used, for example, to move a stateful container from one
server to another.
By specifying a `volumedriver` in conjunction with a `volumename`, users can use plugins such as [Flocker](https://clusterhq.com/docker-plugin/) to manage volumes external to a single host, such as those on EBS. The `--volume` (or `-v`) flag takes a value that is in the format
`<volume_name>:<mountpoint>`. The two parts of the value are
separated by a colon (`:`) character.
- The volume name is a human-readable name for the volume, and cannot begin with
a `/` character. It is referred to as `volume_name` in the rest of this topic.
- The `Mountpoint` is the path on the host (v1) or in the plugin (v2) where the
volume has been made available.
### `volumedriver`
Specifying a `volumedriver` in conjunction with a `volumename` allows you to
use plugins such as [Flocker](https://github.com/ScatterHQ/flocker) to manage
volumes external to a single host, such as those on EBS.
