# Choose working directory to mount

The container needs a working directory which will be **bind mounted** from the host machine inside the running container.&#x20;

Prepare an empty directory dedicated to the Batch Service and **take note** of the path.&#x20;

There is **no need** to create any **subdirectory** inside the working directory (e.g. for the input transaction files) since the required directories will be created on-the-fly by the container itself.
