docker volume won't persist

this is my docker-compose file 

version: '3'
services:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    volumes:
      - dbdata:/data/db
volumes:
  dbdata:

When I start and stop the mongo container I lose all data. What am I missing out on ?

Don't know why it wasn't working but it is now solved

After running my docker-compose file I see the mydata volume when I run docker volume ls. That volume persists through container destruction.

Try running docker volume create dbdata in order to create a persistent volume, redeploy your stack and it should work after that. I.e. the first reboot will cause a data wipe, but after that it should persist.

I hope this helps you
