    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.
