Hello everybody.
I installed dspace 7.5 a few months ago  in a virtual machine on Ubuntu 22.  I'm not very expert in this aspect so  I made the mistake of installing it in the /home directory that the systems department of my organization had prepared for me.
But this disk only had 8 GB, so between Ubuntu itself, patches, virtual desktop, products like tomcat, Apache, yarn, npm, solr, /dspace, /dspace backend and /dspace angular, my disk is full, causing many errors.
I requested another disk, already 50 GB, and I have moved to it the postgresql database, the backups, the solr, and some cache, but as the repository grows I again have space problems, for example dspace does not upload new files items.
I have tried to clean up as much as possible, but the problem persists, hence my request for help.
How could the /dspace folder, or the /dspace-angular folder, which are the largest, be moved from /home to the new disk (/DATA)? Is there any documentation about it? Any help would be very useful to me, because I don't know how to do the entire installation again while keeping all the customization, the items,...
Thanks in advance

Hi, 
I am running Dspace via docker, but by reading this documentation (https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace) you should be able to solve this problem.

If your Dspace instance is running locally, read point 11. If you intend to run the app with the http connection (for production), take look at point 17.

Best,
Gary
