+### Mount a Host File as a Data Volume

+As well as directories, the `-v` flag can be used to mount a single file from the host into a container.

+

+    $ sudo docker run --rm -it -v ~/.bash_history:/.bash_history ubuntu /bin/bash

+This will drop you into a bash shell in a new container, you will have your bash history from your host and when
