# Persistent Storage

## Persistence

The WiFi Pineapple Enterprise features a small, persistent storage directory which is preserved across updates.

This directory is mounted at `/.persistence`

This can be used to store configuration files and scripts, and is used when `PERSIST_CONFIG=1` is set in a [device config file](/wifi-pineapple-enterprise/setup/setup-by-usb-disk.md).

## Persistent Device Configs

On first boot after a flash, the WiFi Pineapple Enterprise will check for an attached USB drive with a `config.txt` file; if it does not find one, it will check `/.persistence/config.txt` for a configuration file, and apply it if found.

To disable a persistent device configuration, simply remove the `/.persistence/config.txt` file via web shell or ssh.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple-enterprise/setup/persistent-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
