View a Data Volume You can use the docker volume ls command to view a list of data volumes. Use the docker volume inspect command to view the data volume details.
docker volume ls | Docker Documentation.
You can list unused volumes using the filtering option of docker volume ls command. Once these are identified, it's easy enough to remove such volumes altogether.
There are two types of volumes to consider: Named volumes have a specific source from outside the container, for example awesome:/bar . Anonymous volumes have no specific source so when the container is deleted, instruct the Docker Engine daemon to remove them.
Use docker ps to get the container id.
Then docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' containerid
Example:
terminal 1
$ docker run -it -v /tmp:/tmp ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
terminal 2
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ddb7b55902cc ubuntu:14.04 "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Up About a minute distracted_banach
$ docker inspect -f "{{ .Mounts }}" ddb7
map[/tmp:/tmp]
The output
map[/tmp:/tmp]
is, apparently, due to the use of the Go language to implement the docker command tools.
The docker inspect command without the -f format is quite verbose. Since it is JSON you could pipe it to python or nodejs and extract whatever you needed.

docker history <image name> will show the layers baked into an image. Unfortunately, docker history seems hobbled by its formatting and lack of options to choose what is displayed.
You can choose terse and verbose formats, via the --no-trunc flag.

With docker 1.10, you now have new commands for data-volume containers.
(for regular containers, see the next section, for docker 1.8+):
docker volume lsdocker volume inspect With docker 1.8.1 (August 2015), a docker inspect -f '{{ .Volumes }}' containerid would be empty!
You now need to check Mounts, which is a list of mounted paths like:
"Mounts": [
{
"Name": "7ced22ebb63b78823f71cf33f9a7e1915abe4595fcd4f067084f7c4e8cc1afa2",
"Source": "/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/volumes/7ced22ebb63b78823f71cf33f9a7e1915abe4595fcd4f067084f7c4e8cc1afa2/_data",
"Destination": "/home/git/repositories",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true
}
],
If you want the path of the first mount (for instance), that would be (using index 0):
docker inspect -f '{{ (index .Mounts 0).Source }}' containerid
As Mike Mitterer comments below:
Pretty print the whole thing:
docker inspect -f '{{ json .Mounts }}' containerid | python -m json.tool
Or, as commented by Mitja, use the jq command.
docker inspect -f '{{ json .Mounts }}' containerid | jq
I actually googled this, and found my own answer :) My memory these days... And for those that dont know about it commandlinefu is a nice place to find and publish these kinda snippets.
List docker volumes by container.
docker ps -a --format '{{ .ID }}' | xargs -I {} docker inspect -f '{{ .Name }}{{ printf "\n" }}{{ range .Mounts }}{{ printf "\n\t" }}{{ .Type }} {{ if eq .Type "bind" }}{{ .Source }}{{ end }}{{ .Name }} => {{ .Destination }}{{ end }}{{ printf "\n" }}' {}
Example output.
root@jac007-truserv-jhb1-001 ~/gitlab $ docker ps -a --format '{{ .ID }}' | xargs -I {} docker inspect -f '{{ .Name }}{{ printf "\n" }}{{ range .Mounts }}{{ printf "\n\t" }}{{ .Type }} {{ if eq .Type "bind" }}{{ .Source }}{{ end }}{{ .Name }} => {{ .Destination }}{{ end }}{{ printf "\n" }}' {}
/gitlab_server_1
volume gitlab-data => /var/opt/gitlab
volume gitlab-config => /etc/gitlab
volume gitlab-logs => /var/log/gitlab
/gitlab_runner_1
bind /var/run/docker.sock => /var/run/docker.sock
volume gitlab-runner-config => /etc/gitlab-runner
volume 35b5ea874432f55a26c769e1cdb1ee3f06f78759e6f302e3c4b4aa40f3a495aa => /home/gitlab-runner
Show names and mount point destinations of volumes used by a container:
docker container inspect \
-f '{{ range .Mounts }}{{ .Name }}:{{ .Destination }} {{ end }}' \
CONTAINER_ID_OR_NAME
This is compatible with Docker 1.13.
