## Prepare data directory on the host system
Trilium needs a directory where it can store its data, this then needs to be mounted into the docker container. The container runs as user "node" so we need to make the directory available to this user:
```
mkdir ~/trilium-data
chmod 777 ~/trilium-data
```
Since this effectively allows reading/writing this directory to any user on the system, it's recommended to do this on only single-user systems. This directory will be used (mounted) below.
Trilium needs a directory where it can store its data, this then needs to be mounted into the docker container. The container needs to runs as a root to be able to access it in write mode.
## Run image
These commands mount the volume to the host system so that trilium's data (most importantly [[document]]) is persisted and not cleared after container stops.
