How to increase disk space

I have installed discourse & when I log into admin panel I can see free space is 4.7 GB which seems quite small to me. Server is host in my local machine & I have 50 GB total my current disk drive.
I have another disk which is 50GB which can be mounted to any folder.

How can I increase it?

Can’t I add more disk space?

Probably, but Discourse can’t do that.

Is there a reason not to delete unused docker images and containers?

Oh, sorry. You could edit app.yml

volumes:
  - volume:
      host: /some/other/path/standalone
      guest: /shared
  - volume:
      host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log
      guest: /var/log

what will do ./launcher cleanup action. from where it delete files?

can I use /var/discourse/shared/standalone2 since I have newly mapped drive?

what actions should I take after this change in app.yml

This worked.
But it is a new site. I had to restore from old.

Thanks @pfaffman
