Description

First of all, thanks for an awesome product!

The installation documentation refers only how to mount the configuration-file, not how (or where) to mount a volume for data-storage.

This stackoverflow question (that points to Dockerfile) led me in the right direction (I think)

My request / suggestion is that you include documentation on how/where the data-storage volume should be mounted, preferably here

Sorry in advance, if I've overlooked something.

Research direction

Start at the installation documentation's “Using Docker” section, linked in the issue, and review the referenced Dockerfile for the data-storage location. Add documentation showing how and where to mount a Docker volume for Prometheus data persistence. Done means the Docker installation page explains the data volume alongside the configuration-file mount.
