How can I move Docker data?

General Discussion
1

Hallo, I am on DietPi version 8.15.
I have Docker and Portainer installer.
I would like to move all of my dockers and data to my NAS.
Is something I can do?
I could also export my dockers and reimport them after changing base root folder, but I do not know how to do on DietPi.

TIA

Luca

Did you tried to move whole DietPi user data? Should be possible using drive manager.

I do not want to move all of it, I would like to move docker userdata only.

in this case you would need to do it manually. Stop Docker, move /mnt/dietpi_userdata/docker-data and create a symbolic link to point to new location.

Hi there!

would it work too, if i change the path in the /etc/docker/daemon.json?

  1. Stop docker
  2. copy files to new location ( including rights and permissions )
  3. edit /etc/docker/daemon.json to the new location
  4. start docker
  5. delete old filelocation after testing all dockercontainers.

Thanks in advance, Tom
