<![CDATA[How to use an attached SSD storage?]]>Hi, I'm running an instance at Scaleway and I need to use an extra storage for Nextcloud.
The extra SSD is mounted under /mnt/data but I don't know how to use it in Cloudron / Netxcloud.
Is there is a way to do that?

You don't have to move out appsdata and platformdata.

Can I just move the boxdata like this:

systemctl stop cloudron.target
   systemctl stop docker
   DATA_DIR="/mnt/data"  # this is the external disk location
   mkdir -p "${DATA_DIR}"

  move out box data to the external disk
   mv /home/yellowtent/boxdata "${DATA_DIR}"
   ln -s "${DATA_DIR}/boxdata " /home/yellowtent/boxdata

systemctl start docker
   systemctl start cloudron.target

Or do I need to move appsdata + platformdata to the same location?

In 4.1, we are hoping to provide this functionality in the UI.

I will update this post as we have some updates.

Until that, we cannot really recommend tinkering with the used volumes besides what is documented here.
