 ### 5. Create docker-compose file
 
-Save this file as `docker-compose.yml`.

-Normally no changes should be needed, but if you are planning on reading/writing local files with n8n (for example, by using the *Write Binary File* node), you will need to configure a data directory for those files here. If you are running n8n as a root user, add this under `volumes` for the n8n service:
-
-```yaml
-      - /local-files:/files
-```
-
-If you are running n8n as a non-root user, add this under `volumes` for the n8n service:
-
-```yaml
-      - /home/<YOUR USERNAME>/n8n-local-files:/files
-```
-
-Then, you will be able to write files to the `/files` directory in n8n and they will appear on your server in either `/local-files` or `/home/<YOUR USERNAME>/n8n-local-files`, respectively.
