Create volumes only from docker-compose file-CodePudding

We have various docker-compose files that create a service infrastructure. My question is if it is possible to only create the volumes defined in the compose file without creating the containers?

CodePudding user response：

It might be possible without starting any services.

command can be provided like this.

docker-compose up --no-start --no-deps

Or it's possible to specify individual volume.

docker-compose up --no-deps -d --volume <volume-name>

CodePudding user response：

You can use a docker-compose.override.yml file with invalid entrypoints or different image (use a small template image) for those containers, that way they'll die immediately.

docker-compose.override.yml:

<conatiner-name>:
        image: hello-world
        command: "/hello"
        restart: "no"
