 Dokku will then mount the shared contents of `/var/lib/dokku/data/storage` to `/storage` inside the container.
 
+Once you have mounted persistent storage, you will also need to restart the application. See the

+```shell

 A more complete workflow may require making a custom directory for your application and mounting it within your `/app/storage` directory instead. The mount point is *not* relative to your application's working directory, and is instead relative to the root of the container.

 ### Deploying with private git submodules
 
 Dokku uses git locally (i.e. not a docker image) to build its own copy of your app repo, including submodules. This is done as the `dokku` user. Therefore, in order to deploy private git submodules, you'll need to drop your deploy key in `/home/dokku/.ssh/` and potentially add github.com (or your VCS host key) into `/home/dokku/.ssh/known_hosts`. The following test should help confirm you've done it correctly.
