How to determine the container id or image name of an unknown docker volume

Please how do I determine the container id or image name of an unknown docker volume? For example I was able to find the list of docker volumes by running the command 'docker volume ls' but unfortunately when I was building some of the images I didn't mount a specific volume so most of my containers were built without a volume name. some of the examples of volumes with unknown names are listed below

REASON FOR MY QUESTION

I am trying to enable alerts on Grafana so I can get a notification via email but I got this error message

"For email alerts I get this message. SMTP not configured, check your grafana.ini config file’s [smtp] section"

This means that I have to edit the grafana.ini config file which is mounted in the docker grafana volume but I am not able to do this.

Please I will appreciate your help.

Thanks

Solution

  • Please use:

    docker ps -a --filter volume={{reference}}

    Example:

    docker ps -a --filter volume=3199e3e4f3c2b79f04b84523959cb250223a229fca2ba16540cdbfd77762a552
