How to set Docker paths in Vol 1 (TOS volume?)

Post by marsfan »

Hi,
I just got one of the 424 models.
I got 1x SSD and several HDDs.
When booting up, I selected the SSD and installed TOS on it (Vol 1)
I set up the HDDs as Vol 2.
My idea is to install all applications and dockers only on the SSD to avoid spinning up the HDDs when I run docker application.

However, in the "Add Data Volume" step for dockers, I only get access to the Vol 2 shared paths.
Is there a way to make use of Vol 1 at all for docker paths?

Or is it the case that the OS voume remains inaccessible for this purpose, and the solution, as I suspect, to get a second SSD, make it a volume, and use it to store all docker related data?

A smart choice to avoid having the HDD constantly spinning, increasing the longevity and performance of the system. Since the operating system usually limits access to the main drive (Vol 1) where TOS is installed, adding a second SSD and setting it as a separate drive (Vol 3) is optimal for storing Docker data, including images and applications. This will keep your HDD from being overused and will help your Docker applications run more smoothly. However, you should also check for TOS updates to see if there are any new options to enable Vol 1 for Docker.

I just tried it and I'm able to select a volume on SSD
