Home Assistant on Ubuntu 19.10, docker bind is disappearing

Installation
1

Hi

I have installed Home Assistant on a Lenovo ThinkPad, with Ubuntu 19.10 on it.
The default installation is in docker, and it has been working just fine since the installation.
Recently, I have been playing with automations, and integrations. During this, I have a couple of Docker Bindings between the Docker Container for Home Assistant, and the local OS disk.
This too has been a new, but fine experience to me, and I feel that I am starting to get a viable system.

But: I have experienced, and am experiencing it more and more frequently, that when I restart docker, or reboot the ThinkPad, everything comes up again just fine, EXCEPT the manual bindings I have added to the homeassistant Docker Container. This is resulting in a couple of warnings and HA starting up in Safe Mode. When I add the bindings manually again, HA comes up again perfectly, and everything is smooth, until next restart…

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have thought of the possibility that Docker isn’t closed in a proper way, and that HA is starting with the default settings, but I haven’t found a way to change the default settings of the HA docker container.
When I select restart HA in the GUI, it runs OK. It is just when Docker is restarted, and mainly in conjunction with a reboot. I click on the reboot host in HA GUI, and feel that should be restarting everything in a proper way…

Anyone?

Edit:
I have found that the Volume Bindings disappear every time I upgrade Home Assistant. There may be a few other circumstances that makes Home Assistant start without all bindings, but I can’t remember seeing any for quite some time.

So: When an update to Home Assistant is installed, the first time the docker container starts, it starts without my own added volume (or directory) bindings. I have to edit the container with Portainer, and add the bindings manually. Is there any way I can make my own bindings persistent? Is there any options in the upgrade process that could let my bindings survive the upgrade? I have several other things I want to try, if the bindings are persistent, but as long as they aren’t, I am afraid to forget some or all of them on the next update. So I don’t try anything more yet.

Any hints, tricks, solutions, or questions?
Anyone?
The silence on this thread is deafening…
