Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the dashes is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>

## 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**). Setting this to a value other than **local** Podman will attempt to create the volume using a volume plugin with the given name. Such plugins must be defined in the **volume_plugins** section of the **containers.conf**(5) configuration file.
|
|
|
|
#### **--help**
|
|
|
|
Print usage statement
|
|
|
|
#### **--label**=*label*, **-l**
|
|
|
|
Set metadata for a volume (e.g., --label mykey=value).
|
|
|
|
#### **--opt**=*option*, **-o**
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
When not using the **local** driver, the given options will be passed directly to the volume plugin. In this case, supported options will be dictated by the plugin in question, not Podman.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
