Question: How to persist vitess database on local docker container

[Cliftonz]

Question

I have been working with local vitess database as a local alternative to planetscale. One of the issues, I have found is that if the container restarts then all of my data is lost to. I set up a docker volume at /vt/vtdataroot however at each startup it creates a new data folder instead of reusing or importing the existing one.

Any help would be appreciated.
