Advice on additional volumes on host OS
I am running on a 1 liter PC (Dell Optiplex 7060) and I have multiple volumes. The OS and root partition are on a smaller NVMe, and thus far, everything is here. I also have a 1TB SATA SSD that is mounted as /data. Finally, I plan on plugging in a USB 3 external drive that is 8TB and had all my media and some other stuff. I was hoping to make this available to installed apps like Jellyfin.
My question is how I should use the /data partition. My initial thought was to use it for the container mounts and any non-ephemeral data for the containers. However, I am completely new to docker, and my only experience is with VMs and LXC containers, both of which have permanence for their volumes. So I don't know if my idea is really on track or not. I welcome any advice on what I should be doing with the /data volume. Currently the only apps I have installed are IT-Tools and Tailscale. So if it easier to delete the apps than migrate data, I am perfectly fine with that. I would like to know that folder structure I should create on the 1TB SSD mounted as /data, and what config files and/or settings need to be changed to make use of it.
Thank you for your assistance.
