 ## Notes
 
-- There is no persistent SQLite mount yet because M3 persistence has not been implemented.
+- SQLite persistence now defaults to `/data/stellar.sqlite` in containers.
-- When SQLite is added, bind-mount a host path such as `/mnt/user/appdata/stellar/data` into the container.
+- The examples above bind `/mnt/user/appdata/stellar` into `/data` so profile data survives container recreation.
 - If Unraid already uses port `8080`, change the host-side port mapping and browse to that port instead.
 - Logs are written to container stdout/stderr and can be viewed from the Unraid Docker UI or with `docker logs stellar`.
