I created a volume using Docker Desktop. Where does the volume is located. It is not intuitive as it was was the docker toolbox to locate the volume.

PS C:\Users\admin> docker volume inspect test                   
[                                                               
    {                                                           
        "CreatedAt": "2020-05-01T10:59:22Z",                    
        "Driver": "local",                                      
        "Labels": {},                                           
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/test/_data",     
        "Name": "test",                                         
        "Options": {},                                          
        "Scope": "local"                                        
    }

Where does exactly " /var/lib/docker/volumes/test/" is present ? I wanted to navigate to the path of it and run some commands for that path.

I referred in many articles, either they are not straightforward,

  • Can you explain that further? What do you mean by "navigate to the path"? – Nico Haase May 01 '20 at 11:07
  • where does it exactly this path present "/var/lib/docker/volumes/test/" . I had an old application which is using this path(named volumes) very heavily. It is not working as expected, I wanted to see what are all the files stored in that path. – Nag May 01 '20 at 11:10
  • Anything in `/var/lib/docker` you can't access directly on non-Linux hosts, and really shouldn't access directly on native Linux. Consider using a bind mount instead of a named volume if you actually need to access the data content. – David Maze May 01 '20 at 11:29
  • Bind mounts have limited functionality compared to volumes. – Nag May 01 '20 at 12:01
