+The following bind mount volumes are defined within the Docker Compose stack:
+
+- `/arr-suite/configs/<container-name>`
+  - holds the config files of an arr container; automatically created during during compose stack start
+- `/arr-suite/media/<folder>`
+  - will hold your media files such as movies, music, books, tv-shows, qbittorrent downloads etc.
+  - only the downloads folder will be created automatically by Qbittorrent during compose stack start
+
+The media folders should be created before starting up the compose stack. To do so, issue these commands:
+
+````bash
+# create subfolders for our media library
+mkdir -p ${DOCKER_VOLUME_STORAGE:-/mnt/docker-volumes}/arr-suite/media/{downloads,movies,tv-shows,music,books}
+
+# adjust permissions
+sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ${DOCKER_VOLUME_STORAGE:-/mnt/docker-volumes}/arr-suite/media/
+sudo chmod -R 775 ${DOCKER_VOLUME_STORAGE:-/mnt/docker-volumes}/arr-suite/media/
