NAME

6       podman-volume-create - Create a new volume

SYNOPSIS

10       podman volume create [options]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Creates  an  empty volume and prepares it to be used by containers. The
15       volume can be created with a specific name, if a name is  not  given  a
16       random  name  is generated. You can add metadata to the volume by using
17       the --label flag and driver options can be set using the --opt flag.

OPTIONS

21       --driver=driver
22
23
24       Specify the volume driver name (default local).

30       Print usage statement
31
32
33       -l, --label=label
34
35
36       Set metadata for a volume (e.g., --label mykey=value).
37
38
39       -o, --opt=option
40
41
42       Set driver specific options.   For  the  default  driver,  local,  this
43       allows  a  volume  to  be configured to mount a filesystem on the host.
44       For the local driver the following options are supported: type, device,
45       and  o.  The type option sets the type of the filesystem to be mounted,
46       and is equivalent to the -t flag to mount(8).  The device  option  sets
47       the  device  to be mounted, and is equivalent to the device argument to
48       mount(8).  The o option sets options for the mount, and  is  equivalent
49       to  the -o flag to mount(8) with two exceptions.  The o option supports
50       uid and gid options to set the UID and GID of the created  volume  that
51       are  not normally supported by mount(8).  Using volume options with the
52       local driver requires root privileges.
