How can I ensure data persistence in Docker containers?

To ensure data persistence in Docker, you can use volumes or bind mounts. Would you like to know more about these options?

What's the difference between volumes and bind mounts?

Volumes are managed by Docker and are stored in a part of the host filesystem which is not directly accessible. Bind mounts, on the other hand, allow you to specify an exact path on the host. Do you have a preference for one over the other?

I think I prefer volumes. How do I create one?

You can create a volume using the command docker volume create <volume_name>. Then, you can use it in your container with the -v flag. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of using a volume in a container.
