Comment on How to organize docker volumes into subdirectories using compose

If you have data else where on your server, you can use the options to volume to direct the mount there
driver: local driver_opts: type: none o: bind device: ‘/your/current/data’
Also reading the compose spec will help

Thanks, this looks like it’ll do the job. I have not a lot of knowledge, so the specs are often a bit technical for me. I’ll give it a go, thanks!

that is using bin mounts again. and i don’t get why this is discouraged, i actualy do like to know where my data is stored and don’t want to spin up a container that backs up using the volumes managed by docker. at that point you are using bind mounts again anyway.
regarding your original question, i don’t think it is possible (or even useful) to tell docker where to store the volumes for each compose stack because you are not supposed to access the from the filesystem directly anyway.
just continue using bind mounts
