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 nocodb -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
## Initialize your first project
Once you have logged into NocoDB, you should see `My Projects`.
