+Command above is mounting volume to the host system so that trilium's data (most importantly [[document]]) is persisted and not cleared after container stops. 
+If you want to run your instance in a non-default way, please use the volume switch as follows: `-v ~/YourOwnDirectory:/root/trilium-data zadam/trilium:[VERSION]`.
+It is important to be aware of how Docker works for volumes, with the first path being your own and the second the one to virtually bind to.
