I also got confused after reading the guide. I think it needs a little info when persiting via volume is enough and when persisting via a bind mount is better.

Hi @dmnc-net

Following the instructions in the quick start section will create a Docker volume and persist the Portainer data inside the volume.

The instruction in the Persist Portainer data section simply shows an example on how to persist Portainer data via a bind mount.

What could we change to make it clearer?

Sorry for commenting on this, but to me it wasn't clear that the data was going to be persisted when created using the command in the quick start section. I found the persist section after I launched the container. By finding this I was certain that my data was going to still be there on a reboot.
