Storage Volumes

Persistent storage management for your stateful applications.

Volume Management

Docker volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers.

AttributeDescription
DriverUsually local. Defines how the volume is stored.
MountpointThe physical path on the host, typically /var/lib/docker/volumes/...
LinksWait a minute... volumes persist even when containers stop!

Maintenance

Use the Prune button to remove all "dangling" volumes (volumes not attached to any container).

warning
Caution: Pruning removes data permanently! Ensure you have backups before pruning if you suspect you might need detached data later.
