This documentation is part of the Volumes guide. View the full guide here: How to persist your containers data with Docker volumes.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Docker cloud CaaS (Containers as a Service) platform, designed for fast and reliable container deployments:

  • Deploy to production with a single docker-compose up. There is no extra setup: just start your containers.
  • Pick your own domain name, secured automatically with HTTPS (for example: https://api.your-company.com, https://www.your-company.com, or https://backoffice.your-company.com).
  • Benefit from strong performance and robust security on private, dedicated infrastructure.
  • Apply updates with one click for simple, low-effort maintenance.

You can have your containers live in production in about five minutes. Stackhero manages the infrastructure, updates, and security for you, so you can focus on delivering your applications. Read more about Docker CaaS cloud hosting.

Here is a quick reference for managing Docker volumes:

  • To create a new volume named myVolume, run:

    docker volume create myVolume
    
  • To list all existing volumes:

    docker volume ls
    
  • To remove a specific volume named myVolume:

    docker volume rm myVolume
    

    Note: Removing a volume will permanently delete all data stored within it, and there is no way to retrieve it afterwards.
