I have about 20gb of space left and rather than upgrading my AWS Lightsail instance to the next level up I would rather just add an attached drive.

Well, the same syntax that they use to have /var/discourse/shared/standalone map to /shared. But I think you want a bit more than the syntax. I think you’re more interested in the astral semantics, and I can’t remember exactly all the pieces, especially on my phone.

In broad strokes, you can rsync /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads to the new drive and then add another line in the app.yml to direct /shared/uploads to the new path.

Thanks Jay, very helpful! What syntax should one use in app.yml to achieve that?

제이, 정말 유용한 정보 감사합니다! app.yml에서 이를 구현하려면 어떤 구문을 사용해야 하나요?
