[Bug]: please make more clear the lack of persistance (ie the need to define a volume) #756

Operating system

ubuntu22

Description

i realize this is docker, but Nowhere is it stated the importance of defining a volume, ie at every container shutdown/startup everything is wiped.

I can only imagine the amount of bandwidth being used for the constant downloading of the windows isos from Microsoft since persistence is not clearly stated. great project btw! thanks

Even if you don't define a volume manually, Docker will create one automaticly, so there should always be persistance even if you dont specify a volume?

Perhaps you were using the example docker run command, which includes -rm (Remove) in the parameters. Ofcourse if you tell Docker explicitly to remove the volume, there is no persistance, but under normal circumstances there is.
