Here is what is the default:

```plaintext
volumes:
  - volume:
      host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone
      guest: /shared

```

You probably want something like this:

```plaintext
volumes:
  - volume:
      host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone
      guest: /shared
  - volume:
      host: /your/cifs/share/discourse-uploads
      guest: /shared/uploads

```
