That's the question, where do you usually keep your docker-compose files and the data for each container if using bind mounts instead of volumes? (i.e. using a subdirectory inside /srv, /opt, /home/user, etc)

Edit: thanks for all the replies!! I'll add the question:

• Do you create a special user for docker?
• Do you use any docker manager like Portainer, Dockge, etc?

Thanks!
