## Usage
This example demonstrates how to mount the recommended directory to `/storage` inside the container:
```
$ dokku storage:mount app-name /var/lib/dokku/data/storage:/storage
```
Dokku will then mount the shared contents of`/var/lib/dokku/data/storage` to `/storage` inside the container.
A more complete workflow may require making a custom directory for your application and mounting it within your `/app/storage` directory instead. The mount point is *not* relative to your application's working directory, and is instead relative to the root of the container.
```shell
# creating storage for the app 'ruby-rails-sample'
mkdir -p /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/ruby-rails-sample
# ensure the dokku user has access to this directory
chown -R dokku:dokku /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/ruby-rails-sample
# mount the directory into your container's /app/storage directory, relative to root
dokku storage:mount app-name /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/app-name:/app/storage
```
You can mount one or more directories as desired by following the above pattern.
