Docker different volume path for specific container

Question

By default docker uses /var/lib/docker/volumes/ for any started container.

Is there any way to launch a new container and have it consume all the required disk on a different specified path on the host?

Basically have the root volume different.

Answer 1

For a specific container only, the simplest way i think would be to use docker volumes, Create docker volume and then attach the volume to the container. So the process running on the container uses up the share, so this is using the disk you would like to use.
