how to configure lemmy to use extra volume ? (lemmyfly.org)

the diskspace on the server I'm using for lemmyfly.org is getting full (it was 40GB local volume, and it's at 80% now) I can get extra volumes at my hosting (Hetzner) but is it possible lemmy looks at different volumes for the volumes folder that contains pictrs, postgres and lemmy-ui ?

Or do I need to move the complete main lemmy folder to this other volume and run lemmy from there, leaving my system-volume unused for lemmy ?

pictrs isn’t even taking up that much space, postgres takes up most !

# du -sch volumes/*
8.0K	volumes/lemmy-ui
3.4G	volumes/pictrs
8.2G	volumes/postgres
12G	total

14 days later, my postgres directory was 12GB. I was still on 18.1. Updated to 18.3 just now. Postgres directory was downscaled to 2.6GB !!! Thank you Lemmy dev's and contributors !!
