how to change the data location?
i already check the docker compose. but i do not find or i might lack of knowledge about it.

i already added volume like this
Z:\archon:/root/.crawl4ai

in the archon-server docker compose setting. but not works

[tjengbudi]

looks like i set in the wrong path location. any help?

Yes — the main data directory is /.archon in Docker.

So if you want to move storage off the main drive, the important volume is this one in docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  - ${ARCHON_DATA:-archon_data}:/.archon

That is where workspaces, artifacts, logs, and the default SQLite DB live. So mounting only .crawl4ai will not move most of Archon’s data.

Practical fix: point ARCHON_DATA to a drive with more space, or replace that volume with a bind mount to the path you want.
