How to create a Docker volume mapped to a server-specific path

2

Mouting the volume from the host to container

Step1: Create the volume with the custom path

docker volume create --name my_test_volume --opt type=none --opt device=/home/jinna/Jinna_Balu/Test_volume --opt o=bind

Step2 : Mount to the container or swarm service

docker run -d \
  --name devtest \
  --mount source=my_test_volume,target=/app \
  nginx:1.11.8-alpine

We can do both of the above steps with below .yaml files

version: '3'
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:1.11.8-alpine
    ports:
      - "8081:80"
    volumes:
      - my_test_volume:/usr/share/app
volumes:
  my_test_volume:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
       o: bind
       type: none
       device: /home/jinna/Jinna_Balu/Test_volume

RUN the above yml with docker-compose

docker-compose up -d
