So I currently have a 1tb drive running all of my containers for my home server. I’m trying to finalize the process of transitioning from corporate cloud storage to my own personal cloud. I have a new 12 TB drive to hold all my files.
I am running Xubuntu, with OwnCloud running in docker compose similar to this setup.
By default, it saves all data in the var directory, but I am stuck with how to change it. I have my data backed up separately, so the plan is to set it up from scratch.
There are complicated instructions here, but I don’t have the skill to transfer this process to a docker compose installation. I have never used SQL commands, and I really have no idea how to do anything with it in docker.
This is a critical step in my home server setup, without which I pretty much can’t move forward. Can anyone help?
Apart from changing the docker config of your existing installation you can also symlink the new folder to the old location.
Or if Docker or Nextcloud doesn’t like symlinks you can also mount the folder there. Folders can be mounted more or less the same as devices.
