Hi. I setup Discourse with Docker 1.6.2 (build 7c8fca2). It tried on my localhost first, then did in production server. On my localhost, from container I can see /shared folder, while in production server, I cannot find.

```plaintext
$ ./launcher enter app
root@prodhk-app:/var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/c97af5f16febf4ae5e0f01a47750381373f3003f0fad79eddab6b89074a7a389# ls /
bin home lib64 nonexistent run sys vmlinuz
boot initrd.img lost+found opt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old
dev initrd.img.old media proc selinux usr
etc lib mnt root srv var

```

How can I solve this? I need the shared folder to backup the database.
