Increase storage capacity on ente server
Hi everyone, I have self hosted ente on my linux box. Since I started with quick start script, It appears that all the data under ente server - primarily the postres & minio data are located on the root filesystem (/) in form of named docker volumes.
Due large volume of data backup, soon my root filesystem will run out of space. Hence
I need to move the ente server to some dedicated filesystem mounted on the same server.
How can I move the ente server from one filesystem to another without loosing the server state ?
Here is how I am thinking :
1) Backup both the docker volumes to desired filesystem directory
2) in compose.yaml change the docker volume path to read from above backed up directory.
3) My hunch is that, enter server will come up with same metadata (postgres) & user data (minio)
Can someone help review above steps or suggest any other alternatives?
Thank you

Remember to use /solved to mark your thread as solved once your question is answered.
Stop all containers before copying and it should be fine. Double check file paths in compose file and give it a try. After you confirmed it is working in the new location you can delete the old files.
Thanks @Hao will try it out
