As far as I know, normally one mounts the `/data` volume that has all the files and settings. How about custom nodes that installed via the node-red UI, will they also be stored in the `/data` volumes?

short answer to your questions is yes...

however, I recommend you have a look at the documentation. Almost anything can be configured:
