|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS

**docker volume** [OPTIONS] COMMAND
|
|
[**--help**]
|

|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
docker volume has subcommands for managing data volumes.
|
|
|
|
## Data volumes
|
|
|
|
The `docker volume` command has subcommands for managing data volumes. A data volume is a specially-designated directory that by-passes storage driver management.
|
|
|
|
Data volumes persist data independent of a container's life cycle. When you delete a container, the Engine daemon does not delete any data volumes. You can share volumes across multiple containers. Moreover, you can share data volumes with other computing resources in your system.
|
|
|
|
To see help for a subcommand, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker volume CMD help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
