I have severals services running in dockers on the server that also hosts my discourse. My drive was getting a bit small, so I added a disk, stopped the docker service and added
```plaintext
"data-root": "/srv/new-drive/new-docker-root"
```
to my daemon.json
and did
```plaintext
$> sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$> sudo service docker start
```
the other services came back online as expected, only discourse showed my a 502.
Do I need to change something in app.yml?

Volume mounts are defined in the app.yml indeed.

Yeah, and I used the default place, so they were not moved at all.
The problem seems something [else](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rm-cannot-remove-var-run-postgresql-directory-not-empty/257046) - I’ll close this topic.
