Explanations
Note when you are using docker compose, unless specify path in the left side on the services: container-name: volumes: section docker will automatically create a volume /var/lib/docker/volumes/ named after the container-name underscore _ and the name of the volume.
Examples
example 1
docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
services:
container-name:
image: image_name
volumes:
- ./base:/data
The directory used as a volume is "./base" within the current directory where the "docker-compose.yml" is located.
example 2
docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
services:
container-name:
image: image_name
