## Persistent Disk The default filesystem for services running on Render is ephemeral. Flowise data isn’t persisted across deploys and restarts. To solve this issue, we can use [Render Disk](https://render.com/docs/disks). 1. On the left hand side bar, click **Disks** 2. Name your disk, and specify the **Mount Path** to `/opt/render/.flowise`
3. Click the **Environment** section, and add these new environment variables: * HOST - `0.0.0.0` * DATABASE\_PATH - `/opt/render/.flowise` * APIKEY\_PATH - `/opt/render/.flowise` * LOG\_PATH - `/opt/render/.flowise/logs` * SECRETKEY\_PATH - `/opt/render/.flowise` * BLOB\_STORAGE\_PATH - `/opt/render/.flowise/storage`
4. Click **Manual Deploy** then select **Clear build cache & deploy**
5. Now try creating a flow and save it in Flowise. Then try restarting service or redeploy, you should still be able to see the flow you have saved previously. Watch how to deploy to Render {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %}
