Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1089

I'm running the docker on Unraid, and I want to move the archive to a different directory.

I have tried to set the "OUTPUT_DIR=/archive" in the config, but this created a new install in that directory.
Is it possible to have the archive folder on another share or disk? If so, how?

@pirate commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2023):

This is not currently supported, the archivebox command must be run from inside the archivebox data directory. Sorry for the trouble.

You can use env --chdir=/path/to/archivebox/data/dir archivebox ... in a pinch to simulate running the archivebox command in a given data dir.
