# Data directory
|
||||
|
||||
`dataDir` is a an option present in all the services, allowing users to specify the directory where a given service will store its data files. Essentially, it is to persist the state of the service even when you exit the `process-compose` window.
|
||||
|
||||
The `dataDir` of these services tend to take *relative* paths, which are usually relative to the project root. As such, when you run these services using `nix run`, their data files are created relative to whichever directory you are in. If you want these data files to always reside relative to the project directory, instead of using `nix run` consider wrapping the process-compose packages in script, via either [mission-control](https://community.flake.parts/mission-control) module or a [justfile](https://just.systems/). `services-flake` uses the latter.

## Default data directory structure
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say your project defines the following services:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
# Inside `perSystem.process-compose.<name>`
|
||||
services.postgres.pg.enable = true;
|
||||
services.redis.rd.enable = true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The data directory structure will look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
|-- data
|
||||
| |-- pg
|
||||
| |-- rd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
{#socket-path}
|
||||
### Unix-domain socket path is too long
|
||||
|
||||
unix socket length is limited to [about 100 chars](https://linux.die.net/man/7/unix). If your data directory is nested too deep, you will have to set `dataDir` option of the service to a shorter path as a workaround.
