+If you'd prefer to use bind mounts instead of named volumes, for instance, when working with different device or network mounts for user data files and configuration:
+```console
+$ docker run -d \
+-v $(pwd)/nextcloud:/var/www/html \
+-v $(pwd)/custom_apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps \
+-v $(pwd)/config:/var/www/html/config \
+-v $(pwd)/data:/var/www/html/data \
+-v $(pwd)/theme:/var/www/html/themes/<YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME> \
+nextcloud

+Here’s the same example using Docker's more detailed `--mount`. Note that with `-v` or `--volume`, the specified folders are created automatically if they don't exist. However, when using `--mount` for bind mounts, the directories must already exist on the host, or Docker will return an error.
+```console
+$ docker run -d \
+--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/nextcloud,target=/var/www/html \
+--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/custom_apps,target=/var/www/html/custom_apps \
+--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/config,target=/var/www/html/config \
+--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/data,target=/var/www/html/data \
+--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/theme,target=/var/www/html/themes/<YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME> \
+nextcloud
+```
+The examples above use the current directory for bind mounts. If this isn't suitable, you can modify the paths by using either a relative or absolute path. Additionally, do not mix the `apps` and `custom_apps` folders. These folders contain different sets of apps, and mixing them will result in a broken installation. While upgrades\recovery may sometimes still be possible, this configuration is likely to cause issues.

 ### Custom volumes
 
 If mounting additional volumes under `/var/www/html`, you should consider:
