Data volumes are designed to persist data, independent of the container’s life cycle. Docker therefore never automatically delete volumes when you remove a container, nor will it “garbage collect” volumes that are no longer referenced by a container. | Data volumes are designed to persist data, independent of the container’s life cycle.

Volumes types: | Volumes types: | ||
- | * local storage (original image data located in specified directory are copied to volume during creation) | + | * Anonymous Volume: any volume without a source, docker will create this as a local volume with a long unique id, and it behaves as a named volume |
- | * bind-mounted host (original image data are **not copied**) | + | * Named Volume - local storage (original image data located in specified directory are copied to volume during creation) |
+ | * **local** driver is using ''/var/lib/docker/volumes'' for storage | ||
+ | * original image data **is copied** if volume is empty. | ||
+ | * All UID/GIDs are correctly set | ||
+ | * user has to take care about free space at ''/var/lib/docker/volumes'' | ||
+ | * Host volume: bind-mounted host | ||
+ | * original image data are **not copied** | ||
+ | * fastest - no volume driver is used | ||
+ | * possible problem with UID/GID permisions | ||
+ | * volume can be created on any location (different discs, etc) | ||
* volume plugins | * volume plugins | ||
