Meilisearch Docker v0.24: data.ms volume mount empty (data dir moved to the meili user home)

@issueatlas

With Meilisearch v0.24 in Docker, mounting a persistence volume with -v $(pwd)/data.ms:/data.ms left the host folder empty: no data was persisted. The docs still said Meilisearch writes to /data.ms, but after the Docker user change, the workspace dir inside the image became the service user's data directory. New users following the docs ended up with silently lost persistence.

In v0.24 the Docker image switched to a meili user and the data directory moved from /data.ms to [home directory] so mounts targeting /data.ms saw nothing. Mount your volume at the new path (e.g. -v $(pwd)/data.ms:[home directory] The rc0 issue was fixed in rc2 and the docs were updated to match.
