docker - "Remove" a VOLUME in a Dockerfile

Question

I have a Dockerfile extending FROM an image that declares a VOLUME. Is there a way to overwrite the VOLUME directive in such a way, that it "removes" the VOLUME?

Answer 1

No.

The only way to do so, is if you clone Dockerfile of the image you use as base one (the one in FROM) and remove the VOLUME directive manually. Then build it and use in your FROM as base one.
