Newbie - How to add additional internal drives?

ℹ️ Support

Greetings all,
I need some essential nomenclature assistance. I just finished installing and have a working nextcloud. I am lost on words to search for that will lead me to my solution. I have the software on a small SSD and would like to have my default storage of all files on one of my larger internal drives. I am running into issues on what to search for. I am new not only to Nextcloud but to Linux. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Have a wonderful day!
Mike

You search moving your datadirectory in Nextcloud.

  • Maintenance on or stop webserver
  • copy all files from datadirectory (see config/config.php) to new directory
    (directory and files owned from www-data:www-data, set it correct on destination)
  • change entry datadirectory in config/config.php
  • Maintenance off or start webserver

Original entry:

maintenance --on
cp -a /old /new
config.php 'datadirectory'
maintenance --off
