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?


I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to do here. Are you
If you’re trying to do the second one, there’s a useful guide on it here: https://omiid.me/notebook/25/move-docker-volume-to-bind-mount. The first one should be even simpler, you can just replace the volumes in the compose file by bind mounts (basically, just this step of the tutorial: https://omiid.me/notebook/25/move-docker-volume-to-bind-mount#modifying-docker-compose).
