Docker volumes
Don't use the constructor directly. Instead use
from python_on_whales import docker
my_docker_volume = docker.volume.inspect("my-volume")
# or
my_docker_image = docker.volume.create()
For type hints, use this
from python_on_whales import docker, Volume
def print_file(my_volume: Volume):
print(
docker.run(
"ubuntu",
["cat", "/some_volume/some_file"],
volumes=[(my_volume, "/some_volume/some_file")]
)
)
Attributes
It attributes are the same that you get with the command line:
docker volume inspect ...
To get a complete description of those attributes, you can take a look at the daemon api reference page and click on "200 No error".
An example is worth many lines of descriptions.

Methods
clone
Volume.clone(new_volume_name=None, driver=None, labels={}, options={})
Creates a new volume and copy all the data inside.
See the docker.volume.clone
command for
information about the arguments.
exists
Volume.exists()
Returns True
if the docker volume exists and False
if it doesn't exists.
If it doesn't exists, it most likely mean that it was removed.
See the docker.volume.exists
command for information about the arguments.
reload
Volume.reload()
remove
Volume.remove()
Removes this volume
