I've got two internal SSDs, of which one is smaller (128) and one is bigger (1TB). How can I tell podman (or docker) to use another folder? Currently, it sits on the smaller drive which has less and less storage.

    For docker, you have to create /etc/docker/daemon.json and set:

    {
  "data-root": "/docker"
}

    You can move your /var/lib/docker while the daemon is stopped. I had no issues when I did the move.

    I don't know how to change this for podman.
