 ::
 
-   docker run -d -p 4000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry
+   docker run -d -p 4000:5000 --restart=always --name registry \
+   -v <local_data_path>:/var/lib/registry registry
+
+Note: ``<local_data_path>`` points to the folder where Docker registry
+will store Docker images on the local host.
