Hi This sounds like a noob question How do I change the default folder for results I don t mind or actually want to move the whole config folder I ve tried adding ```home dir = mnt disks prefect data prefect ``` to ` prefect config toml` but results are still saved on my main disk

Anna Geller · Answer

< Stéphan Taljaard> which do you use just LocalResult

Stéphan Taljaard · Answer

Yup only LocalResult

Anna Geller · Answer

You can specify dir as follows ```from prefect import Flow task from prefect engine results import LocalResult task result=LocalResult dir= ~ Desktop HelloWorld results def my task return 3```

1 Can t I specify it globally so as to not have to manually edit every single task I have quite a few 2 I also want to move the postgres db files off to another disk I want both the results and the db files on my `prefect data` disk

Anna Geller · Answer

You could pass a callable to the location to avoid setting the dir every time here is an example <https gist github com anna geller f4a0f745bc0af468c2068694ae76f6da> But when it comes to setting a default home dir your approach was correct ```prefect config home dir Users anna prefect ```

Regarding 2 you can set the database volume when starting the Server as follows all configuration you can set on Server docker compose file is available <https github com PrefectHQ prefect blob 57dbb113114603a743bec2fc407307336a9f2385 src prefect cli server py L45 L169|here> the intention is you set everything through CLI rather than modifying the docker compose file directly ```prefect server config volume path Users stephan some path```

You can set the env variable too <https docs prefect io core concepts configuration html user configuration|here>
