Seafile Docker - Change Default Volume ERROR

Luis_Pinto · March 6, 2023, 11:25am

Hey everyone,
I’m using for the first time the Seafile Docker container on my Ubuntu server, I used docker-compose which is available in the official documentation, the only thing I changed was port 80 to another port that was not being used. Everything started normally and everything was working!

After this my idea was to save all seafile files inside another HDD and not inside my SSD since I want to use it only for system storage. My idea would be to just change the volume path to a directory that was mounted on that HDD. After that my stack never worked again. What is the best way to do this? Is mounting the original path that comes in docker-compose on the desired HDD? Or is there another, better way?

I hope you can help me. Thanks!
