## NAME
|
|
podman\-volume\-create - Create a new volume
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman volume create** [*options*]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Creates an empty volume and prepares it to be used by containers. The volume
|
|
can be created with a specific name, if a name is not given a random name is
|
|
generated. You can add metadata to the volume by using the **--label** flag and
|
|
driver options can be set using the **--opt** flag.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
**--driver**=*driver*
|
|
|
|
Specify the volume driver name (default local).
|
|
|
|
**--help**
|
|
|
|
Print usage statement
|
|
|
|
**-l**, **-label**=*label*
|
|
|
|
Set metadata for a volume (e.g., --label mykey=value).
|
|
|
|
**-o**, **--opt**=*option*
|
|
|
|
Set driver specific options.
|
|
For the default driver, `local`, this allows a volume to be configured to mount a filesystem on the host.
|
|
For the `local` driver the following options are supported: `type`, `device`, and `o`.
|
|
The `type` option sets the type of the filesystem to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `-t` flag to **mount(8)**.
|
|
The `device` option sets the device to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `device` argument to **mount(8)**.
|
|
The `o` option sets options for the mount, and is equivalent to the `-o` flag to **mount(8)** with two exceptions.
|
|
The `o` option supports `uid` and `gid` options to set the UID and GID of the created volume that are not normally supported by **mount(8)**.
|
|
Using volume options with the `local` driver requires root privileges.
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman volume create myvol
|
|
|
|
$ podman volume create
|
|
|
|
$ podman volume create --label foo=bar myvol
|
|
|
|
# podman volume create --opt device=tmpfs --opt type=tmpfs --opt o=nodev,noexec myvol
|
|
|
|
# podman volume create --opt device=tmpfs --opt type=tmpfs --opt o=uid=1000,gid=1000 testvol
|
|
```
