+===== Run a Container and Mount Host Volumes =====
+By default, Docker containers do not save the data. When a container is stopped and the process is completed, all data generated by the container is removed.
+Sometimes you may need to run a container that requires persistent storage. In that case, you can use Docker volume to make the data persist and also share it across the multiple containers.
+<code bash>
+docker container run --name docker-nginx -d -p 8080:80 -v /mnt:/var/www nginx

+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  Any data written to **/var/www** within the container is actually accessing **/mnt** on the host.
+This option is useful for anyone running a database or application that requires persistence within Docker.
