In general, Docker containers are ephemeral, running just as long as it takes for the command issued in the container to complete. By default, any data created inside the container is only available from within the container and only while the container is running.
Docker volumes can be used to share files between a host system and the Docker container. For example, let’s say you wanted to use the official Docker Nginx image and keep a permanent copy of Nginx’s log files to analyze later. By default, the nginx Docker image will log to the /var/log/nginx directory inside the Docker Nginx container. Normally it’s not reachable from the host filesystem.
In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to make data from inside the container accessible on the host machine.

Excellent posts on Docker, Melissa. The way you break each command down in detail and explain the flags you use makes it easy to understand and learn.
It doesn’t work if the host is on the digitalocean and the local directory is on my laptop.
If I ran the container without -v do I need to recreate the container after if I want to add the share?

Excellent Post. Good post if we have any doubt about how docker is running internally. Keep it up.
