please I really need help creating a docker volume.
By default, when I create a volume, its location will be /var/lib/docker/volumes/
I need to change this default location to my SSD disk, specifically /media/username/T7/docker/volumes
Please how do I make sure the docker I run will be stored in my SSD rather than the default location?
I will be using this docker run command
docker run --detach --publish 1848:1848 --publish 1789:1789 --name chainweb-node --mount type=volume,source=chainweb-data,target=/data kadena/chainweb-node
Thank you so much. I am really loosing it here trying to work with Linux.

Provide the full path.
docker run --detach --publish 1848:1848 --publish 1789:1789 --name chainweb-node --mount type=bind,source=/media/username/T7/docker/volumes,target=/data kadena/chainweb-node
This assumes the directory already exists on your host. Make sure to make and mount it.
