How to Use Docker Volumes on a Different Partition with Portainer?

You can indeed set your volume data wherever you like by modifying the volume definition. If you'd like the persistent volume data to be stored in /home, you can use a syntax like ". /home/docker-volumes/immich/xxx:xxx". Just replace the `xxx` placeholders with the volume names you need for immich!

Another route you can take is to edit the `daemon.json` file to change the Docker data location, including where volumes are stored. Adjusting the "data-root" option will shift the location for new images and volumes, but remember that you'll need to migrate or recreate existing data for it to point to the new directory. Also, consider using the offen/docker-volume-backup tool for backups—it has tons of helpful features!

I get where you're coming from regarding backups, but have you considered just using a bind mount instead? It might simplify things.

If you're looking for a more streamlined approach, check out alternatives like Dockge, Arcane, or Dockhand. They can make accessing and backing up your stacks much easier.

Setting it up should be straightforward. Just follow the installation instructions and make sure to adjust the `UPLOAD_LOCATION` and `DB_DATA_LOCATION` in your `.env` file to point to your desired storage folder. Also, if you have a model cache volume, you can modify the `model-cache` entry with your specific folder and get rid of the `volume:` section at the end of the stack file.
