Volumes
Create and manage persistent volumes for container data.
Volume List
Click Volumes in the sidebar to see all Docker volumes on your system.
Each entry shows the volume name, driver, mount count, and creation date.
Create a Volume
Click New Volume. Give it a name. The default local driver is used unless you specify otherwise.
Or from the CLI:
docker volume create my-dataBrowse Contents
Click a volume to browse its contents in a file viewer. This shows the files stored in the volume without needing to attach it to a running container.
Remove
Select a volume and click Delete. Volumes in use by a container cannot be removed.
To clean up unused volumes:
docker volume pruneBind Mounts vs Volumes
Bind mounts map a directory on your Mac into a container. They are good for source code and config files where you want changes to sync both ways.
Volumes are managed by the container runtime. They are better for persistent data like databases that do not need to be accessed directly from the host.
ArcBox optimizes both paths for near-native filesystem performance.
