## on docker storage; volumes vs bind mounts

docker storage is split into two main groups
- volumes
- bind mounts

### volumes
these are in the `vollumes:` section at the base of the compose file. these are managed by docker. They are for the containers databases, internal caches, or application state--where permission and io are important

### bind mounts
these are specified in the body of the compose file and are for everything else, configs, static(ish) data, etc.
