Yes, external folders can be linked to internal Docker folders when the container initializes automatically during bootup using the Docker volume option.
For example, to mount the external folder /home/user/data
to the internal folder /app/data
on container startup, you can use the following command:
docker run -v /home/user/data:/app/data image_name
This will create a Docker volume that links the external folder to the internal folder and configure the container to use it during startup.
