In my dev environment, I am setting up a VM where the dockerized app is spinning. I have control on the content, and therefor, the usage of docker volumes is strait forward.  
Can’t figure out how to make it work in travis-ci.

You can run any `docker` commands as per [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/).

[https://travis-ci.org/lioramilbaum/devopsloft/builds/591347018#L779-L782](https://travis-ci.org/lioramilbaum/devopsloft/builds/591347018#L779-L782) suggests that you may be using some nonstandard filesystem structure locally which, naturally, is absent at a Travis VM.

You probably need to create a volume and its contents in your build logic prior to using it.
