I have an api running that needs images uploaded to it.

I've mounted the volume with the docker. When I upload a file and then retrieve it the file is found. If I close the container and re-build it the file is gone.

When I look at the /mnt/poductionvolume/data/ folder the /uploads folder is present but empty.

It seems that the files are not being copied to the mounted volume.

Any help is appreciated.
