+# Docker Volume Persistence Tracking
+
+## Testing Protocol
+For each on-demand app:
+1. Deploy via Coolify
+2. Create test data
+3. Spin down container
+4. Verify volume exists: `docker volume ls`
+5. Spin up container
+6. Verify test data persists
+7. Document result below
+
+## Verified Apps
+(Will populate as apps are tested)
+
+### Example Entry Template
+```
+## AppName
+- Volume: coolify-appname-data
+- Mount: /path/to/data
+- Data persisted: ✓ YES / ✗ NO
+- Tested: YYYY-MM-DD
+- Notes: Critical data in X location
+```
+
+## Critical Data Locations
+- Gitea: `/data/git/repositories`
+- PostgreSQL: Container-managed volume
+- Uptime Kuma: `/app/data`
