**Q:** *I'm using docker. Where are my documents?*
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**A:** Your documents are stored inside the docker volume ``paperless_media``.
 | 
			
		||||
Docker manages this volume automatically for you. It is a persistent storage
 | 
			
		||||
and will persist as long as you don't explicitly delete it. The actual location
 | 
			
		||||
depends on your host operating system. On Linux, chances are high that this location
 | 
			
		||||
is
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. code::
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    /var/lib/docker/volumes/paperless_media/_data
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. caution::
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    Dont mess with this folder. Don't change permissions and don't move
 | 
			
		||||
    files around manually. This folder is meant to be entirely managed by docker
 | 
			
		||||
    and paperless.
