Missing volume mount for custom images in Docker installation instructions

Page/Section

https://docs.craftycontrol.com/pages/getting-started/installation/docker

Description

The documentation does not include a volume mount for persisting custom images uploaded via the web interface (Panel Settings > Customize Crafty). Without it, uploaded files are lost when the container is recreated.

Expected Information

The Docker installation instructions should include a volume mount for /crafty/app/frontend/static/assets/images/auth/custom, so that uploaded images are preserved when the container is recreated. Example entry for docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  ...
  - ./images:/crafty/app/frontend/static/assets/images/auth/custom
$ sudo chown 1000:0 -R ./images
$ sudo chmod 764 -R ./images

Priority/Severity:

Medium Priority/Severity – This omission does not block installation but causes user confusion and loss of customization after container updates or recreation.
