Add a tiny line in the README to help begginers out

[spiderman-idog]

I'm super noob at Docker, so when I read the instructions to deploy in Docker run:

Docker Run

docker run -d --name memos -p 5230:5230 -v ~/.memos/:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:latest
If the ~/.memos/ does not have a memos_prod.db file, then memos will auto generate it. Memos will be running at http://localhost:5230/.

I thought I could set the /var/opt/memos folder to something else (I thought this was going to be a folder being used on my file system, not the container file system), so I simply set it was a folder inside my home directory, something like this:

-v ~/.memos/:/home/username/memos_opt

That was a big mistake, the database files didn't appear in ~/.memos, nor in /var/opt/memos. (Not sure if that's a bug though 😛)

Later I learned that the database files were created inside the container file system, but that took quite a bit of digging to find out.

So my humble suggestion is to add a tiny line in that README snippet above of a little heads up telling to only edit the first argument, like:

Docker Run

docker run -d --name memos -p 5230:5230 -v ~/.memos/:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:latest
You can edit the ~/.memos/ directory to something else, but do not modify the /var/opt/memos directory.
If the ~/.memos/ does not have a memos_prod.db file, then memos will auto generate it. Memos will be running at http://localhost:5230/.

Sounds like a silly request, but I think it would help inexperienced people out.

@Helaxious SGTM, could you create a PR for it

Nice, making a PR right away.
