Volumes and files

Everything a container writes disappears when it is recreated — unless it is in a volume.

Type When to use it
Volume (name) the default: Docker keeps the data. E.g. uploads → /app/uploads
Machine folder (Pasta da máquina) absolute path on the server. Requires the admin role, because it gives access to the machine’s disk
File (Arquivo) a configuration file written by the panel and mounted in the container (e.g. nginx.conf)

On the machine’s page, each container’s … menu has Files (Arquivos): you can browse, upload and download files from the volumes in the browser — useful for checking an upload or replacing a configuration file.
