@nik202 Thanks again, but I still do not want to have a separate database for that. I mentioned docker just to give some context to why I want to do what I want to do.
It seems I do not write what I want concisely and clearly enough, so that is a learning for me 
Anyways, I found a workaround. What I do is:
- mount the external file to the container through
docker-composeinto the assistant’s root directory - when I release, the
rasa.dbfile is overwritten in the assistant’s root directory - but
docker-composehappens after container creation, so the outside file overwrites the one coming with the release
