The -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}:/app/server/storage is required to persist your data on your host machine in a persistent way.

To access the full application, visit http://localhost:3001 in your browser.

The UID and GID are set to 1000 by default. This is the default user in the Docker container and on most host operating systems.
If there is a mismatch between your host user UID and GID and what is set in the .env file, you may experience permission issues.
