```
In this example, it would mount `E:\your\data\path` into the volume so for a different location you need to adjust `/host_mnt/e/your/data/path` accordingly.
### How to configure custom UID/GID?
There are two ways to configure custom UIDs or GIDs that will be used inside the installation.
The first and recommended solution is to use Nextcloud's external storage app and use its functionality to add a connection into Nextcloud. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html
Another solution if you really need to use host mounts is to use a bind mount to map custom permissions to the directory. You can do so by editing the `/etc/fstab` file on your Linux server and create an entry like the following to the file:
```
/source/path /target/path/where/the/source/directory/will/be/mounted/on/the/server fuse.bindfs force-user=33,force-group=33,allow_other 0 0
```
You can then use `--env NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR="/target/path/where/the/source/directory/will/be/mounted/on/the/server"` as described in the section above.
### How to store the files/installation on a separate drive?
You can move the whole docker library and all its files including all Nextcloud AIO files and folders to a separate drive by first mounting the drive in the host OS (NTFS is not supported and ext4 is recommended as FS) and then following this tutorial: https://www.guguweb.com/2019/02/07/how-to-move-docker-data-directory-to-another-location-on-ubuntu/<br>
(Of course docker needs to be installed first for this to work.)
