Hi.

I have a simple quection.
I just start a new container with a new volume in windows:

docker run --name web1 -v htmlvol:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 80:80 -d nginx

I see that new volume was created:

PS C:\Temp\project> docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local htmlvol

But I can’t find this directory.
PS C:\Temp\project> docker volume inspect htmlvol
[
{
“CreatedAt”: “2023-07-21T19:50:09Z”,
“Driver”: “local”,
“Labels”: null,
“Mountpoint”: “/var/lib/docker/volumes/htmlvol/_data”,
“Name”: “htmlvol”,
“Options”: null,
“Scope”: “local”
}
]

I see that mountpoint is /var/lib/docker/volumes/htmlvol/_data

But how can I get to this place and to change something?

I was trying to find this folder on c:\ but i cant find it.

Is it possible to find and use this folder on this pc?

I’ll answer myself. I found it on another forum, the files are located in \wsl$\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes.

not any more they are not. 4.36 did away with the docker-desktop-data distro.
