The easiest way is to make sure Docker is stopped, move the offending folder(s) and create symlinks so they still appear in the original locations.

Make sure that whatever you do to `/var/lib/docker/` and `/var/discourse`, they stay on a volume with good performance characteristics, or you’ll be in for a bad time 🙂
