Docker mount volume specify path-CodePudding

please I really need help creating a docker volume.

By default, when I create a volume, its location will be /var/lib/docker/volumes/

I need to change this default location to my SSD disk, specifically /media/username/T7/docker/volumes

Please how do I make sure the docker I run will be stored in my SSD rather than the default location?

I will be using this docker run command

docker run \
    --detach \
    --publish 1848:1848 \
    --publish 1789:1789 \
    --name chainweb-node \
    --mount type=volume,source=chainweb-data,target=/data \
    kadena/chainweb-node

Thank you so much. I am really loosing it here trying to work with Linux.

CodePudding user response：

Provide the full path.

docker run \
    --detach \
    --publish 1848:1848 \
    --publish 1789:1789 \
    --name chainweb-node \
    --mount type=bind,source=/media/username/T7/docker/volumes,target=/data \
    kadena/chainweb-node

This assumes the directory already exists on your host. Make sure to make and mount it.
