Hi everyone,

I'm looking for guidance on setting up an Ignition Docker container with persistent gateway and project data. Specifically, I need to understand the best practices and steps for ensuring that both the gateway configuration and project data remain intact across container restarts and updates.

Could anyone provide documentation, resources, or tips on how to achieve this setup effectively? Any insights into common pitfalls or best practices for maintaining data persistence in this context would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
