| This container, called pylith-data, will hold a directory where all your user data can be stored for use with PyLith within Docker. The data can persist for different versions of PyLith; that is, you can update to a newer version of PyLith and your user data will still be available. This directory is not directly accessible from your host computer. However, you can copy files to/from your host filesystem using "docker cp" (see below). | This container, called pylith-data, will hold a directory where all your user data can be stored for use with PyLith within Docker.
