Configuration

When operating within Docker, it's necessary to specify the --data-dir variable, such as --data-dir=/data. Ensure the data-dir is mapped to a directory on the host.

The database-dir should also be mapped to a host directory or Docker volume, with write permissions enabled for the directory linked to database-dir. Setting up permissions is not required if using volumes.
