All of our images come with side-by-side documentation on which internal directories are used by the application. As mentioned in the [Running our Containers](general/running-our-containers.md) documentation, the most common directory you will wish to persist is the `/config` directory. Before you create your container, first create a directory on the host machine that will act as the home for your persisted data. We recommend creating the directory `/opt/appdata`. Under this tree, you can create a single configuration directory for each of your containers.
