 Small deployments with less than 1M prefixes and less than 100,000 updates per day can easily run on a system

+```
+git clone https://github.com/OpenBMP/obmp-docker.git
+git clone https://github.com/OpenBMP/obmp-grafana.git
+```
+
+### (3) Setup persistent storage
+You can re-use existing configurations, grafana dashboards, etc.
+
+#### (3.a) Define a root location
+Normally we place everything in ```/var/openbmp```, but you can place it anywhere.
+
+```
+export OBMP_DATA_ROOT=/var/openbmp
+sudo mkdir -p $OBMP_DATA_ROOT
+```
+
+#### (3.b) Create sub-directories
+To keep it simple, we normally create the sub-directories under the root.  
+
+> **NOTE**
+> You can mount other partitions/slices or external disks using anyone of these paths. It is advisable
+> that you at least mount/partition both ```${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/postgres/data``` and ```${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/postgres/ts```
+> Postgres **data** partition doesn't require as much as **ts**. **ts** (timeseries) size depends on
+> how long you want to keep data.  The default is 4 weeks of history.
