+## Persistant MySQL Storage
+
+By default, whenever you bring down the docker-compose network, your MySQL data will be removed after the containers are destroyed. If you would like to have persistant data that remains after bringing containers down and back up, do the following:
+
+1. Create a `mysql` folder in the project root, alongside the `nginx` and `src` folders.
+2. Under the mysql service in your `docker-compose.yml` file, add the following lines:
+
+```
+volumes:
+  - ./mysql:/var/lib/mysql
+```
