how to configure lemmy to use extra volume ? (lemmyfly.org)

the diskspace on the server I'm using for lemmyfly.org is getting full (it was 40GB local volume, and it's at 80% now) I can get extra volumes at my hosting (Hetzner) but is it possible lemmy looks at different volumes for the volumes folder that contains pictrs, postgres and lemmy-ui ?

Or do I need to move the complete main lemmy folder to this other volume and run lemmy from there, leaving my system-volume unused for lemmy ?

You can split the pict-rs volume and the postgres volume onto different disks.

But the Postgres volume will very likely significantly shrink with the next release, as a fix was added that removes a lot of unnecessary data.

For the Pictrs it is more difficult, but I recommend configuring a max upload size and an auto-conversion to webp to limit the further growth.

i'm trying to find documentation for this config but can't find any. Do you have a link maybe ?
