I am running my ELK and Beats services inside a docker container. I have created multiple index patterns and dashboards. But whenever I restart the docker container, the data gets wiped out. Is there a way to persist all this data and make sure the dashboards don't keep disappearing? ---

Are you using persistent storage for your Elasticsearch container? ---

Could you please elaborate what that means and would look like? Thank you! ---

Have you mapped a data path to the container that survives restarts? What does your docket file look like? ---

I am going to follow this article to set up teh cluster. > **[How to use persistent storage for elasticsearch in docker](https://ervikrant06.github.io/elk/ELK-docker-compose/)** > > In the previous article, we have started the docker containers using docker run command, and while starting the ES container we haven’t used the persistent storage to save the indexes which means that if container is stop/start then all data will be... ---
