  1. This article did the trick for me.

    I was following the Docker Desktop tutorial and couldn’t understand the difference between a named volume and a bind-mount. Then I tried a number of videos on Youtube and still couldn’t figure out the difference. Those videos showed me how to create them, but not what they were. This article explained not only what they are but when to use them.
