The data directory is the location where Buddy self-hosted stores repositories, databases and workspace data. By default, it’s located in ~/.buddy/app. If your disk is running out of space, you can move the contents of the directory to another location by changing the directory from the CLI:

  1. Sign in to the machine where Buddy self-hosted is installed.
  2. Stop the application. Run:

    bash
    buddy stop $
  3. Go to the configuration wizard:

    bash
    buddy configure $
  4. Go to Application data path.
  5. Type U and enter the new absolute data path.
  6. Restart the application to apply changes.

Once applied, Buddy automatically moves the /app folder to the new location.
