Description

I am running a docker container remotely using pydocker library. I need to mount a local directory in the running container. The documentation does mention the way to create a volume using volume drivers (which is working fine for me). However, I am unable to figure out how to mount the volume while creating the container using APIs.

I am following the documentation at https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#module-docker.api.container

Research direction

Start with the Docker Engine API documentation at the linked module docker.api.container page, focusing on create_container and the volume-driver sections. Determine how volume creation relates to mounting during container creation, then document the supported usage and verify that the example addresses the reported case.
