The directory on the physical machine is a regular folder in the host's filesystem where files are stored.
A Docker volume is a special mechanism for storing data that:
- Is isolated from the container’s lifecycle (data remains even after the container is deleted).
- Is managed by Docker and optimized for working with containers.
- Can be mounted into one or more containers simultaneously.
Unlike simple mounting of a host directory, volumes provide better portability and data management. For example, a volume can be created with the command:
docker volume create my_volume
And used in a container with:
docker run -v my_volume:/app/data my_image
Thus, volumes are convenient for storing persistent data, while host directories are useful for quick access to local files, but with less isolation.
