signal-cli config does not default to /home/.local/share/signal-cli/ so account information does not persist
The problem
The container does not default to having the signal-cli config default to /home/.local/share/signal-cli/ so if the user sets up the system per the documentation, the signal account registration information won't persist after a docker compose down.
Temporary Fix for Users
To temporarily fix this, I explicitly added the env variable - SIGNAL_CLI_CONFIG_DIR=/home/.local/share/signal-cli/ and it works fine. However, this isn't the fix for the bug since the container should default to this location per the documentation.

Can't reproduce that issue. Have you maybe set the SIGNAL_CLI_CONFIG_DIR environment variable before (to some other value)?
