Docker volumes vs Bind mount for data persistence of user folders

[Alvin Huff]

Hello is there a reason I would want to use a docker volume (e.g.

-v nfsvolume:/home/joyvan/work

) vs bind mount (e.g.

-v /vol_b/exchange:/home/joyvan/work

) for persistent data?

I was struggling with using docker volumes each time the container would start up it would through a permissions denied error when trying to mount the docker volume so I switched to just mounting a folder.  Is there a good reason to use docker volumes over a bind mount.  I am new to this so if my terminology is off please let me know.

cheers,

alvin
