docker: Create a `tmpfs` volume a size of 100 MiB and an uid of 1000.
$ docker volume create --opt ${type}=${tmpfs} --opt ${device}=${tmpfs} --opt ${o}=${size=100m,uid=1000} ${volume_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a Docker volume with specific options.

Here is the breakdown of each part:

  • docker volume create: This is the base command to create a Docker volume.

  • --opt ${type}=${tmpfs}: This specifies an option for the volume creation. $type is a variable that represents the type of the volume, and $tmpfs is a variable that holds the value tmpfs. This option sets the type of the volume to tmpfs.

  • --opt ${device}=${tmpfs}: Similar to the previous option, this sets the device of the volume to tmpfs. $device is a variable representing the device.

  • --opt ${o}=${size=100m,uid=1000}: This option sets additional parameters for the volume creation. $o is a variable representing the options. In this case, it sets a size of 100MB and a user ID of 1000 for the volume. $size is a variable representing the size and $uid is a variable representing the user ID.

  • ${volume_name}: This is the name of the volume you want to create. It can be a custom name defined by the user.

Overall, this command creates a Docker volume with the specified options, such as setting the type and device to tmpfs, and the size and user ID for the volume.
