Anonymous volume
let Docker create a volume for a path without giving it a human-friendly name
Core Idea
Anonymous volume is let Docker create a volume for a path without giving it a human-friendly name, for example /app/node_modules. It usually makes the most sense alongside Bind mount, Named volume, and a separate npm cache volume when the project uses Node.
Why It Matters Here
