# docker volume inspect

**Description:** Display detailed information on one or more volumes

**Usage:** `docker volume inspect [OPTIONS] VOLUME [VOLUME...]`










## Description

Returns information about a volume. By default, this command renders all results
in a JSON array. You can specify an alternate format to execute a
given template for each result. Go's
[text/template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template) package describes all the
details of the format.


## Options

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `-f`, `--format` |  |  Format output using a custom template:<br>'json':             Print in JSON format<br>'TEMPLATE':         Print output using the given Go template.<br>Refer to https://docs.docker.com/go/formatting/ for more information about formatting output with templates |



## Examples

```console
$ docker volume create myvolume

myvolume
```

Use the `docker volume inspect` comment to inspect the configuration of the volume:

```console
$ docker volume inspect myvolume
```

The output is in JSON format, for example:

```json
[
  {
    "CreatedAt": "2020-04-19T11:00:21Z",
    "Driver": "local",
    "Labels": {},
    "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/8140a838303144125b4f54653b47ede0486282c623c3551fbc7f390cdc3e9cf5/_data",
    "Name": "myvolume",
    "Options": {},
    "Scope": "local"
  }
]
```

### Format the output (--format) {#format}

Use the `--format` flag to format the output using a Go template, for example,
to print the `Mountpoint` property:

```console
$ docker volume inspect --format '{{ .Mountpoint }}' myvolume

/var/lib/docker/volumes/myvolume/_data
```
