    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?

      Hi, this is a common request we get and as @girish mentioned in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1631/what-s-coming-in-3-5/2 we will start introducing some features around storage/volume management with the next release. Until that, we cannot really recommend tinkering with the used volumes besides what is documented here.

          @doomilation Yes, we are working on a way to add external storage in our upcoming release. I will update this post as we have some updates.

              @tadeas Hi, could this be something useful? https://cloudron.io/documentation/storage/#move-the-data-directory-to-another-location

                @doomilation As pointed out in the previous comment, currently you can just create a symlink the app's data directory to an external storage -https://cloudron.io/documentation/storage/#move-the-data-directory-to-another-location

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

                  @girish Hi. Just to be sure: I want to move the mail folder to an ext storage.
                  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?

                    @doomilation Yes, what you have done should work. You don't have to move out appsdata and platformdata.
