To manage Docker volumes, you can use various Docker CLI commands. Here are a few examples:

  1. Creating a volume:
docker volume create myvolume

This command will create a new Docker volume named “myvolume”.
2. Listing volumes:

docker volume ls

This command will list all Docker volumes on your system.
3. Removing a volume:

docker volume rm myvolume

This command will remove the Docker volume named “myvolume”.
4. Mounting a volume to a container:

docker run -v myvolume:/path/in/container myimage

This command will create a container using the “myimage” image and mount the “myvolume” volume to the specified path inside the container.
5. Inspecting a volume:

docker volume inspect myvolume

This command will display detailed information about the “myvolume” volume, such as its mount point and driver details.

These are just a few examples of the many Docker volume management commands available. Refer to the Docker documentation for more information and options.
