Documentation does not point to the correct volume path

[KarstenWintermann]

The path for the data volume has changed from "/bitcoin" to "/bitcoin/.bitcoin" in the ":latest" image. If you specify a volume for "/bitcoin" and not for "/bitcoin/.bitcoin", then docker mounts the subfolder to a default docker volume, and not the volume which is specified. This caused some issues on my machine, since the drive holding the docker volumes is only a small SSD, and not my big NAS drive. The docker commands in the documentation should be adjusted accordingly.

I ran into this as well. Is there a safe way to move that volume or is it better to start over?

[KarstenWintermann]

If you want to preserve the contents of the volume, the easiest way would be to log into the container with sudo docker exec -it <container> bash, stop the running bitcoind process, copy everything from "/bitcoin/.bitcoin" to "/bitcoin".
Then, stop the container, do a sudo docker volume prune, change the volume declaration from "/bitcoin" to "/bitcoin/.bitcoin", then restart the container.

I'm not sure if this is safe though, I started over.
