I am in process of building new server to send to Indonesia and want to have content for Kolibri on separate drive to help with efficient backup of Kolibri server only (not backing up content)
Kolibri server version is built as VM inside Proxmox server and here is Kolibri device info
Version: 0.15.11
OS: Linux-5.4.0-139-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.29
Python: 3.8.10
Installer: deb kolibri-server - 0.4.0-0ubuntu2
Server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
Database: /home/kolibri/.kolibri/db.sqlite3
Free disk space: 4 GB
Server time: Sun Feb 12 2023 06:59:54 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Server timezone: Etc/UTC
Device ID: 10329e74ff0165005172dc22c84b815c
After initial build of Kolibri server, a 500GB drive was added (initialized, formatted, fstab edit, mounted, chown) to /koldisk and then created a subdirectory of /koldisk/koldata
The server had limited content in the channels before the movedirectory command was executed. This is copy of terminal during the movedirectory execution
kolibri@kolibri:~$ kolibri manage content movedirectory /koldisk/koldata

IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: ‘/home/kolibri/.kolibri’
The move seemed to be successful from looking at the new directories (databases, storage) now created in /koldisk/koldata
However, when importing more content the size of the /koldisk/koldata directory does not increase. The size of /home/kolibri/.kolibri/content directory increases instead.
May I please ask for some help and guidance to find a solution to the issue I am having with moving the Kolibri channels files.
Thank you,
David
