docker: Create a volume.
$ docker volume create ${volume_name}
try on your machine
The command "docker volume create ${volume_name}" is used to create a new Docker volume with a specific name, where ${volume_name} is a placeholder for the actual name you want to give to the volume.
Docker volumes are a way to persistently store data outside of a container. They are separate from the container itself and can be shared among multiple containers.
Here's how the command works:
- "docker" is the command-line tool for managing Docker containers and resources.
- "volume" is a subcommand that deals specifically with Docker volumes.
- "create" is an option under the "volume" subcommand that is used to create a new volume.
- "${volume_name}" is a placeholder representing the name you want to assign to the volume. You should replace it with an actual name without the curly braces.
For example, if you want to create a volume with the name "mydata", you would run the command: "docker volume create mydata".
Once the volume is created, you can use it when running containers by specifying its name as a mounting point for persistently storing data.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
