- How do I change the location of the virtual disk? * ### How do I change the size of the virtual disk? ###
By default it resides inside a docker volume, but you can add these lines to your compose file: By default it is 16GB, but you can modify the `DISK_SIZE` setting in your compose file:
``` ```
volumes:
- /home/user/data:/storage
```
to map `/storage` to any local folder you want to use. Just replace `/home/user/data` with the correct path.
- How do I install a specific version of vDSM?
By default it installs vDSM 7.2, but if you want to use an older version you can add these lines to your compose file:
```
environment: environment:
URL: "https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DSM/release/7.0.1/42218/DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat" DISK_SIZE: "16G"
``` ```
to install version 7.01 for example. to make it any size you want.
You can also switch back and forth between versions this way without loosing your file data. To create an empty disk with a maximum capacity of 8 terabyte you would use a value of `8T` for example.
- What are the differences compared to standard DSM? * ### How do I change the location of the virtual disk? ###
There are only two minor differences: the Virtual Machine Manager package is not available and Surveillance Station is available, but does not include any free licenses. By default it resides inside a docker volume, but you can add these lines to your compose file:
```
volumes:

Just replace `/home/user/data` with the correct path.
