If you start your application without specifying ``NC_DB``. A local SQLite will be created in root folder. Your data will be stored there.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are using Docker, it is recommended to mount ``/usr/app/data/`` for persistent volume (since ``v0.10.6``), otherwise your data will be lost after recreating the container.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name foo -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ nocodb/nocodb
|
