The persistent data is stored under /data inside the container, so the only requirement for persistent deployment using Docker is to mount persistent volume at the path:
```
docker run -d --name bitwarden -v /bw-data/:/data/ -p 80:80 mprasil/bitwarden:latest
Updating is straightforward, you just make sure to preserve the mounted volume. If you used the bind-mounted path as in the example above, you just need to `pull` the latest image, `stop` and `rm` the current container and then start a new one the same way as before:
In case you didn't bind mount the volume for persistent data, you need an intermediate step where you preserve the data with an intermediate container:
```sh
# Pull the latest version
docker pull mprasil/bitwarden:latest
# Create intermediate container to preserve data
docker run --volumes-from bitwarden --name bitwarden_data busybox true
# Stop and remove the old container
docker stop bitwarden
docker rm bitwarden
# Start new container with the data mounted
docker run -d --volumes-from bitwarden_data --name bitwarden -p 80:80 mprasil/bitwarden:latest
# Optionally remove the intermediate container
docker rm bitwarden_data
# Alternatively you can keep data container around for future updates in which case you can skip last step.
Note, that in the above example we don't mount the volume locally, which means it won't be persisted during the upgrade unless you use intermediate data container using `--volumes-from`. This will impact performance as bitwarden will have to re-dowload the icons on restart, but might save you from having stale icons in cache as they are not automatically cleaned.
### Other configuration
Though this is unlikely to be required in small deployment, you can fine-tune some other settings like number of workers using environment variables that are processed by [Rocket](https://rocket.rs), please see details in [documentation](https://rocket.rs/guide/configuration/#environment-variables).
