For my understanding, if I'm running Typesense server on a single container instance and it goes down, will I have to create the indexes again since they were in memory or are the created indices stores somewhere? Thank you

Not needed, raw data is stored on disk and automatically re-indexed back on restart.

I'm curious to know why the indices are not stored on disk.
