    It would be nice to use the platform itself to transfer the Docker Partition to another disk.
    Recently I ran into a problem of lack of memory on the server (hetzner) when installing updates.
    My disk is already full (40GB). Although I have transferred applications to another volume (60 GB). It turned out that when choosing a choice of scaling the server, only the volume of the disk cannot be changed (maybe this is only in my case).
    And today, after the update, the volume of the docker partition has grown from 10 to 14! gigabytes, even taking into account the removal of applications, in order to at least somehow free up disk space. This leaves no chance in the future to receive updates or install other applications.
    I saw in the documentation the possibility of moving the docker partition to another location. But for a beginner like me, I find it a bit difficult to do.
    I would like to ask you to implement the docker partition transfer function similar to connecting another disk to save backups.

      @Neluser Good idea. But it's quite complicated to automate things like this, that's what it's not done. But something to keep in mind. In the meantime, following https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#docker-images is the way to go.
