11/23/2021, 8:36 AMHi. 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
Copy code
home_dir = "/mnt/disks/prefect_data/.prefect".prefect/config.tomla

@Stéphan Taljaard which result class do you use, just LocalResult?

You can specify dir as follows:
Copy code
from prefect import Flow, task
from prefect.engine.results import LocalResult
@task(result=LocalResult(dir='~/Desktop/HelloWorld/results'))
def my_task():
return 3s

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

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:
Copy code
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 here (the intention is, you set everything through CLI rather than modifying the docker-compose file directly):
Copy code
prefect server config --volume-path /Users/stephan/some/pathk

You can set the env variable too here
