Volume mount point

How to create a volume and set local host mount point.

Create volume first

docker volume create --driver local \
      --opt type=none \
      --opt device=/home/user/test \
      --opt o=bind \
      test_vol

Create on the fly with --mount

docker run -it --rm \
  --mount type=volume,dst=/container/path,volume-driver=local,volume-opt=type=none,volume-opt=o=bind,volume-opt=device=/home/user/test \
  foo

Inside a docker-compose file

  ...
  test:
    volumes:
      - bind-test:/var/lib/grafana

  volumes:
    bind-test:
      driver: local
      driver_opts:
        type: none
        o: bind
        device: /home/user/test
