  6-DC-name-volume git:(main) ✗ docker volume create --name Datastore1
Datastore1
  

open a shell woth datastore1 in /mydatabase

  docker run -v Datastore1:/mydatastore --rm -it ubuntu /bin/bash
  

write a new text file

  echo "hello datastore1" > /mydatastore/hello.txt
root@4b119677c00b:/# ls
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  media  mnt  mydatastore  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var
root@4b119677c00b:/# cat  mydatastore/hello.txt 
hello datastore1
root@4b119677c00b:/# 
  

add another line

  root@4b119677c00b:/# echo "\n\nhello datastore 2" >> /mydatastore/hello.txt
root@4b119677c00b:/# cat  mydatastore/hello.txt 
hello datastore1
\n\nhello datastore 2
root@4b119677c00b:/#
