N8n docker: I don't find my local volumes

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I am using docker to run caddy and n8n as described here: Digital Ocean | n8n Docs

I would like to access files inside the n8n volume, but I can’t find it and I am not sure where it’s mounted.

What is the error message (if any)?

There is no error, I just can’t find a file I saved in a workflow.

Please share your workflow

I would like to find the file I saved, but I can’t, although I searched in the folder that theoretically mount the n8n volume.

Here the docker file:

version: "3.7"

services:
  caddy:
    image: caddy:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - caddy_data:/data
      - ${DATA_FOLDER}/caddy_config:/config
      - ${DATA_FOLDER}/caddy_config/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile

  n8n:
    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 5678:5678
    environment:
      - N8N_HOST=${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}
      - N8N_PORT=5678
      - N8N_PROTOCOL=https
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - WEBHOOK_URL=https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}/
      - GENERIC_TIMEZONE=${GENERIC_TIMEZONE}
    volumes:
      - n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n
      - ${DATA_FOLDER}/local_files:/files
      
volumes:
  caddy_data:
    external: true
  n8n_data:
    external: true

The variables are declared in the .env file, as described in the guide.
