Storage expansion on Casa OS

Hello. I am only a beginner, so don`t judge me strict.
I installed casa os and then nextcloud with mariadb on this os. All seems to be cool, but ssd, that nexcloud is on, is only 238Gb and I also have 4Tb hdd hooked up to device, running casa os. The question is: How do I make Nextcloud recognise and use this hdd as storage alongside ssd?

Nextcloud only allows one datadirectory.

config/config.php:
'datadirectory' => '/path/to/nextcloud/data',
documentation

I think your /path/to/nextcloud/data is on your ssd. It is ok to host /path/to/nextcloud on ssd and host /path/to/nextcloud/data e.g. on hdd.

You can:

  • create a directory /data on hdd
  • set the correct user e.g. www-data and group www-data
  • copy all files including dot files from /path/to/nextcloud/data to /data
  • set the new datadirectory in config/config.php

If all works you can delete the old datadirectory /path/to/nextcloud/data
