I am trying to install appwrite locally for dev and I want to store all the files on an external drive so I can move from computer to computer and dev. Is there a way to change the cmd you run to make it change to a diffrent install location?
Summary
To change the install location of Appwrite, you can bind all the volumes into a local folder. This can be done by modifying the Docker command when running the installation. Here's an example of how to do it on Windows:
```docker run -it --rm \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--mount type=bind,source=/Volumes/Work/appwrite,target=/usr/src/code/appwrite \
--entrypoint="install" \
appwrite/appwrite:1.3.7```
By replacing `/Volumes/Work/appwrite` with the desired path on your external drive
