## Service data

Most application data is stored in a network-attached Hetzner Storagebox drive
("Storagebox Alpha"). Docker volumes are mapped to this location.

This device is permanantly mounted using the [CIFS
protocol](https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/glossary/what-is-common-internet-file-system-cifs/)
at `/mnt/storagebox_alpha`, as specified in `/etc/fstab`.

For certain services, data is stored on the small harddrive of the VPS:

| Service | Data            | Location              | Description                                     |
| ------- | --------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Forgejo | MySQL database  | `/data/mysql/forgejo` | Database data only. Repositories stored in NAS. |
