+### Volumes
+
+The compose file creates two Docker volumes:
+
+* `postgres_data`: PostgreSQL's data directory.
+* `agent_files`: PatchMon's agent files.
+
+If you wish to bind either if their respective container paths to a host path rather than a Docker volume, you can do so in the Docker Compose file.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The backend container runs as user & group ID 1000. If you plan to re-bind the agent files directory, ensure that the same user and/or group ID has permission to write to the host path to which it's bound.
