Inconsistent Docker volume path for Minotari node between README and start_tari_app.sh #7686

I noticed a potential inconsistency in the Docker volume configuration for running a Minotari node.

In the README, the example Docker configuration uses:

volumes:
  - ./data:/root/.tari

However, based on the start_tari_app.sh script in the development branch, the environment variables TARI_BASE and TARI_CONFIG appear to point to /var/tari instead of /root/.tari.

Specifically, the script located at:
https://github.com/tari-project/tari/blob/development/buildtools/docker_rig/start_tari_app.sh

suggests that the base directory used by the application is /var/tari.

If that is correct, then the volume mapping in the README might need to be updated to:

volumes:
  - ./data:/var/tari

Could you please clarify which path is the correct one for persistent data when running the Minotari node in Docker? If /var/tari is indeed the intended base directory, updating the README would help avoid confusion.
