In order to keep track of the volumes used, i like to use named volumes. Currently i have one named volume



docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local mongodb


my docker-compose file is something like this:



version: "3"

services:
db:
image: mongo:4.0.6
container_name: mongo
ports:
- 27017:27017
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: macmongoroot
volumes:
- mongodb:/data/db

volumes:
mongodb:
external:
name: mongodb

networks:
default:
external:
name: macbook


everytime i run docker-compose docker-compose up -d docker compose adds a new anonymous volume rather then using the named one :



docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local a4a02fffa9bbbdd11c76359264a5bf24614943c5b1b0070b33a84e51266c58d7
local mongodb


this docker compose file works fine on my server but on my docker desktop i'm having this issue. currently using Docker Desktop version 2.0.0.3 (31259). Any help would be appreciated thanks

The anonymous volume belongs to /data/configdb which in the Dockerfile instructions



VOLUME /data/db /data/configdb


By doing docker inspect on the created container you will notice the following:



"Mounts": [

"Type": "volume",
"Name": "mongodb",
"Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mongodb/_data",
"Destination": "/data/db",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "rw",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": ""
,

"Type": "volume",
"Name": "be86274b1f6009eb60b8acb3855f51931c4ccc7df700666555422396688b0dd6",

"Destination": "/data/configdb",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": ""

]


Which means that mongodb volume is actually being used for the data as you asked however another volume will be created for this /data/configdb. Also you can verify that the data exist by checking this source path /var/lib/docker/volumes/mongodb/_data where mongodb data will be saved

The anonymous volume belongs to /data/configdb which in the Dockerfile instructions



VOLUME /data/db /data/configdb


By doing docker inspect on the created container you will notice the following:



"Mounts": [

"Type": "volume",
"Name": "mongodb",
"Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mongodb/_data",
"Destination": "/data/db",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "rw",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": ""
,

"Type": "volume",
"Name": "be86274b1f6009eb60b8acb3855f51931c4ccc7df700666555422396688b0dd6",
"Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/be86274b1f6009eb60b8acb3855f51931c4ccc7df700666555422396688b0dd6/_data",
"Destination": "/data/configdb",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": ""

]


Which means that mongodb volume is actually being used for the data as you asked however another volume will be created for this /data/configdb. Also you can verify that the data exist by checking this source path /var/lib/docker/volumes/mongodb/_data where mongodb data will be saved

  • thanks that cleared why there's another volume, but my issue still remains that every time i do a docker-compose down then do a docker-compose up -d seems like all my mongodb data is removed. later i'l try to do docker inspect and have it posted here.
