title: Docker Named Volume location Mac
body: <p>I'm using Docker for Mac 1.12.1 and have a Docker Compose file which starts WordPress and MySQL services</p>
  <p><strong>Compose file</strong></p>
  <pre><code>version: '2'
  services:
    db:
      container_name: mysql_db
      image: mysql:5.7
      volumes:
        - &quot;./.data/db:/var/lib/mysql&quot;
      restart: always
      environment:
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: wordpress
        MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
        MYSQL_USER: wordpress
        MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
  
    wordpress:
      container_name: wordpress
      depends_on:
        - db
      image: wordpress:latest
      links:
        - db
      ports:
        - &quot;8000:80&quot;
      restart: always
      environment:
        WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
        WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
      volumes:
        - wordpress/:/var/www/html/
  
  volumes:
      wordpress:
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, after bringing everything up successfully, I cannot find where the named volume exists on my Mac.</p>
  <pre><code>MacBookAir:wordpress carlwainwright$ docker volume inspect wordpress_wordpress
  [
      {
          &quot;Name&quot;: &quot;wordpress_wordpress&quot;,
          &quot;Driver&quot;: &quot;local&quot;,
          &quot;Mountpoint&quot;: &quot;/var/lib/docker/volumes/wordpress_wordpress/_data&quot;,
          &quot;Labels&quot;: null,
          &quot;Scope&quot;: &quot;local&quot;
      }
  ]
  MacBookAir:wordpress carlwainwright$ ls -l /var/lib/docker/volumes/wordpress_wordpress/_data/
  ls: /var/lib/docker/volumes/wordpress_wordpress/_data/: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
