Support for Creating Volumes

[raystorm]

Description

I would like to be able to Docker Volumes Create command from Maven.

Is this possible/supported?

• d-m-p version : 0.15.1
• Maven version (mvn -v) :

  Apache Maven 3.0.5 (Red Hat 3.0.5-16)
  Maven home: /usr/share/maven
  Java version: 1.7.0_111, vendor: Oracle Corporation
  Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.111-2.6.7.2.el7_2.x86_64/jre
  Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
  OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

• Docker version : Docker version 1.11.2, build b9f10c9
• If it's a feature request, what is your use case : I'm working with a pair of art docker,containers that share admin data between them with a volume. I have it successfully working from CLI when I chown the directories after docker creates them and restart the containers. It would be really nice just to have them created with the correct owner:group in the first place.

Thank you

Thanks for the feature request. Yes, I think volume support make sense(same as the recently introduced support for auto creating networks makes sense. So auto-creating referenced volumes which do not yet exists would make sense.

Hope I can work on this any time soon (no promises ;-) but we are taking PR requests, too ;-) If you are interested I could give you some pointers where to start best.

I took a brief look at the code but not deep enough to really tell.

I assume this would be a whole new class extending AbstractDockerMojo. Beyond that I haven't looked enough to see how your actually calling the Docker API.

I've recently hit a wall in my own work where I need this feature. I had some time today, and have forked your repo and written up an attempt at the feature.

My Next steps where to add unit tests. In following your contributer guidlines. I've written up Volume Support Parallel to the Container Support (much less feature rich). Any Tips/pointers on where to be begin for writing the unit tests?

Thank you.
