Meilisearch Docker v0.24: data.ms volume mount empty (data dir moved to [HOME]/...

Problem

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 [HOME]/.... New users following the docs ended up with silently lost persistence.

Verified fix

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