I keep getting random ghost volumes when I docker-compose up even though I have a volume named and configured

@meyay hmmm I’m trying to get what you are putting down; let me see if I interpret it correct. Understand that I’m new to Docker and could totally f this up.

You are alluding to the fact that perhaps in this example the official MongoDB is producing a volume as part of it’s image instructions when I create a container and therefore I am building a container with a volume from MongoDB’s official image as well as during my docker-compose build my own volume.

Is that a correct interpretation?

Regardless thank you for what you’ve all contributed to this point. Even now I feel like I at the worst case I at least have new paths to work down towards a solution and best case I feel like I’m lots closer. Thank you.
