Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have to expand the storage on our server, so we have bought some more space on our VPS provider; the provider says that the extra storage will be seen as a secondary disk by the OS.
How can we make Nextcloud aware of the extra space? We have to mount that extra storage? How?

Describe the solution you'd like

We would like to know how to expand the storage for Nextcloud AIO

Describe alternatives you've considered

We haven't tried yet, so maybe no extra step is required: just stop and restart the containers ?

Hi.
In the end, it wasn't necessary to do anything, because we had discovered that we had the chance to expand the main disk storage.
After a server reboot, Nextcloud automatically detected the extra space.
Thanks anyway

Hi, can you post the output of sudo docker inspect nextcloud-aio-nextcloud?

Thanks! So the easiest way for you would be mounting the drive somewhere in /mnt and using this feature: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-allow-the-nextcloud-container-to-access-directories-on-the-host to make it available in Nextcloud as local external storage. (you first need to enable the external storage app from the apps management and add the location as local external storage for specific users/groups.)

Hi.
In the end, it wasn't necessary to do anything, because we had discovered that we had the chance to expand the main disk storage.
After a server reboot, Nextcloud automatically detected the extra space.
Thanks anyway

This is indeed much better. Great that you figured this out!

What about when a server reboot doesnt pick up the change and expand the storage?

Check lsblk
It must show you correct SIZE if lvextend was made correctly.
Than check lsblk -f
In FSAVAIL there must be all your available space somewhere near SIZE value from previous step. If it is not a case, then you need to make a resize by

sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/{your device here}

Verify lsblk -f again
FSAVAIL must be of correct size.

After that just check NextCloud. All must be Ok.
