Runtipi default apps and data install directory questions

I am running a RPi CM5 installed to a cmrat carrier board with a 1TB nvme drive. I have ubuntu server installed to the emmc 32GB drive and Runtipi installed to the 1TB nvme drive. When installing apps, and the apps thus saving data, how can I Default everything to the NVME drive??? I have setup the system and installed about 5-6 apps, and then i've realised they are installing to the emmc (ubuntu) and not my Runtipi folder which is on my 1TB nvme. Please help

at default tipi is installed in the dir from that the install script is called - which most likely is the home dir. this includes the data dir app-data as well. please post the output of ./runtipi-cli debug here.

Hello @DTV son, If your Runtipi directory is installed in your 1TB drive, all your apps data and media will be stored here, no worries. The storage consumed on your 32GB drive is coming from Docker itself, notably container and images. It shouldn't grow much after installing all your apps. Everything is stored here: /var/lib/docker/ If you absolutely need to change the Docker storage location, I have a found this simple guide: https://evodify.com/change-docker-storage-location/ Look for the daemon.json solution at the end In any doubt before proceeding, feel free to ask more questions here.

How to change Docker storage location
You can easily change the Docker default storage location by creating the daemon.json file and pointing to another location in that file.
