Docker Volumes Explained with docker-compose

Maneshwar introduces LiveAPI, a tool automating API endpoint indexing across repositories for easier API management. Docker's volume management is crucial for containerized data persistence. Named volumes are managed by Docker and persist even after container removal, offering reusability. Anonymous volumes are randomly generated and less reusable, accumulating if not managed. Bind mounts directly link host paths to containers, ideal for development and live updates. Tmpfs mounts use RAM, providing fast but volatile storage. Volume plugins extend storage options to external sources like NFS and cloud providers. The summary table highlights the persistence, host access, and ideal use cases for each volume type. Docker commands are provided for inspecting and cleaning volumes. LiveAPI simplifies API documentation, offering interactive API documentation with browser-based search and execution capabilities. The tool aims to streamline API documentation workflows, eliminating manual updates.
