Is a very simple question I guess, but I could not find an answer. This is my docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
db:
volumes:
- db:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
db:
nextcloud:
The question is, I want to specify the value of "db" or "nextcloud" in "volumes", and reference them in "Services".like this
services:
db:
volumes:
- db:/var/lib/mysql
nextcloud:
volumes:
- nextcloud:/var/www/html
volumes:
db: /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/db
nextcloud: /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/disk
but I got problemERROR: In file './docker-compose.yml', volume 'db' must be a mapping not a string.
how can i fix it ?

Your syntax in the outer volumes
instruction is incorrect.
If you want to mount to a docker-managed volume, do this:
services:
test:
image: alpine
volumes:
- db:/app
volumes:
db:
If you want to mount to a local path, do this (you can replace the dot in .:/app
with any other local path, like: /home/you:/server/path
):
services:
test:
image: alpine
volumes:
- .:/app
If it starts with a dot or a slash, it will be treated as a path, otherwise, as a docker-managed named volume.
These are the common usage patterns, but you can read more about volumes in compose for some additional information.

The top-level volumes
section is not meant to specify mounts but volume driver configuration (see official documention on that matter). ie. this is incorrect
volumes:
db: /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/db # incorrect
nextcloud: /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/disk # incorrect
If you want to mount host directories to you container, you must specify it in the volumes
section of your services
, eg.
services:
db:
volumes:
- /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/db:/var/lib/mysql
nextcloud:
volumes:
- /home/roj/DataDisk/nextcloud-insecure/disk:/var/www/html
See official documentation on services volumes for more information on that.
