title: Docker Volumes
slug: /deployment/docker/volumes
---
Named volumes can persist data after we restart or remove a container. Also, its accessible by other containers.
For example:
```yaml
version: 3.8
services:
db:
image:mysql
restart:always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
MYSQL_DATABASE: test_db
ports:
- "3306:3306"
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
db_data
```
Here, the first field is a unique name of the volume on a host machine. The second field is the path in the container.
Following are the changes we have to do while mounting the volume for ingestion in OpenMetadata
## Update or add the volume in the docker-compose.yml file
Open the file `docker-compose.yml` downloaded from the Release page.
First, define the volumes at the top level of the file. Example:
```commandline
volumes:
ingestion-volume-dag-airflow:
ingestion-volume-dags:
ingestion-volume-tmp:
```
Then, add them in the service. Example:
```commandline
- ingestion-volume-dag-airflow:/airflow/dag_generated_configs
- ingestion-volume-dags:/airflow/dags
- ingestion-volume-tmp:/tmp
```
Once these changes are done, restart the container via:
```commandline
docker compose down && docker compose up -d
```
## Verify the Named Volumes
Running `docker volume ls` will list all the volumes which are available on the host machine.
The default path where volumes get created in Linux is as follows:
```commandline
/var/lib/docker/volumes/
```
