+# Run Dokku on External Volume
+
+In order to leverage cloud-provider facilities like _attachable volumes_, (_a.k.a. block storage_)
+the following is an easy tutorial to achieve Dokku runs on them.
+
+## Tutorial
+The following is intended to be executed on the dokku host machine as `root`.
+Say, _for instance_, that our volume is mapped into the systems as `/dev/vdb1`.
+
+Stop docker daemon
+
+```shell
+services docker stop
+```
+
+Prepare the filesystem:
+
+```shell
+mkfs -t ext4 /dev/vdb1
+mkdir /mnt/volume
+mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt/volume
+```
+
+Move the old data directories:
+
+```shell
+mv /home/dokku /home/dokku.OLD
+mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker.OLD
+mv /var/lib/dokku /var/lib/dokku.OLD
+```
+
+Move the data on the volume
+
+```shell
+mkdir /mnt/volume/home/
+mkdir /mnt/volume/var/lib/
+mv /home/dokku.OLD /mnt/volume/home/dokku
+mv /var/lib/dokku.OLD /mnt/volume/var/lib/dokku
+mv /var/lib/docker.OLD /mnt/volume/var/lib/docker
+```
+
+Prepare the mountpoints
+
+```shell
+mkdir /home/dokku
+mkdir /var/lib/dokku
+mkdir /var/lib/docker
+chown dokku:dokku /home/dokku   # respect the original ownership
+chmod 711 /var/lib/docker       # respect the original permissions
+```
+
+Mount bind
+
+```shell
+mount -o bind /mnt/volume/home/dokku /home/dokku
+mount -o bind /mnt/volume/var/lib/dokku /var/lib/dokku
+mount -o bind /mnt/volume/var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker
+```
+
+Start docker daemon
+
+```shell
+services docker start
+```
+
+At this point all should be working fine, please check it out.
+
+Then, let the changes be reboot-persistent
+
+```shell
+echo '/dev/vdb1 /mnt/volume ext4 defaults 0 2' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+echo '/mnt/volume/home/dokku /home/dokku none defaults,bind 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+echo '/mnt/volume/var/lib/dokku /var/lib/dokku none defaults,bind 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+echo '/mnt/volume/var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker none defaults,bind 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+```
