Describe the bug

Hi guys,

I a bit unsure how to report this issue, but I think the documentation is unclear whent it comes to docker containers and storage. The Dockerfile https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/blob/master/Dockerfile
itself creates symlinks in /var/www/html/storage to /var/lib/snipeit where the actual storing of files really happens. However, I want to use docker compose in order to mount the storage of files
outside of the docker container. Right now I noticed that uploaded images are missing after destroying the container. Mounting /var/www/html/storage has shown that uploaded model
images disappear when the container is destroyed. This is mounted as a docker volume.

The provided docker-compose.yaml in the repository: https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/blob/master/docker-compose.yml mounts only /var/www/html/storage/logs. I do not think this is enough?
Reading the docker documentation https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/docker here, I find both references to mounting /var/lib/snipeit and /var/www/html. Which directory is correct to mount as a docker volume,
to make sure that images are properly stored outside of the container? I find this a somewhat confusing.

I have been testing with version 5.3.6 of snipeit on Ubuntu 20.04, but this seems to apply to the latest version too.

Reproduction steps

Described as above, using docker-compose yml and the documentation from the repo

Expected behavior

Making sure that uploaded images are stored peristently outside of the container
