Summary

I want to simply specify Plane's storage at a storage location on the server, for example in Compose,

volume:
  - /local/db/storage:docker/db/storage
Why should this be worked on?

Through the documentation, I learned how to set up external storage in Plane, but it seems to require a relatively complex configuration and an additional service (host)? Please forgive me, I am a newcomer to web services.

I want to simply specify Plane's storage at a storage location on the server, for example in Compose,

 volume:
  - /local/db/storage:docker/db/storage

Is this possible? I use other Docker services, and for simple applications, this can be done.

The reason I need this is that when I use setup.sh to perform an upgrade, it encountered an error midway, and I had to reinstall Plane without backing up the data first. If I can specify storage directly on the local machine, I can upgrade or reinstall without any hassle.
