# Change the Docker Installation Folder

Change the default Docker installation folder for Cortex XSOAR 6.14.

The `/var/lib/docker/` folder is the default Docker folder for Ubuntu, Fedora, and Deblan in a standard Cortex XSOAR installation, used to store container images and logs.

To change the Docker folder:

1. Stop the Docker daemon.

   **`sudo service docker stop`**
2. Create a file called `daemon.json` under the `/etc/docker` directory with the following content:

   ```programlisting
   {
           "data-root": "<path to your Docker folder>"
     }     
   ```
3. Copy the current data directory to the new one.

   **`sudo rsync -aP /var/lib/docker/ <path to your Docker folder>`**
4. Rename the old docker directory.

   **`sudo mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker.bkp`**
5. After confirming that the change was successful, you can remove the backup file.

   **`sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker.bkp`**
6. Start the Docker daemon.

   **`sudo service docker start`**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/onboard-cortex-xsoar/docker/change-the-docker-installation-folder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
