Change notes storage on Linux

Support
1

Hello!
I just installed Joplin on a notebook with Linux, a PC with W10 and an Android phone. I am doing my first tests and it seems to me that Joplin is fantastic.
I just need help with one thing: the netbook with Linux has only 32 GB in an SSD and a 64GB SD memory card. The SSD already has 52% occupied with Xubuntu and other applications and I don’t want the notes to take away more space. How can I make Joplin save the notes on the SD card? How do I change the path to the notes and settings, which is now in /home/ernesto/.config/joplin-desktop?

Iḿ using Joplin 1.0.179 and Xubuntu 19.10

Thank you!

You can probably move the contents of ~/.config/joplin-desktop, into a directory of your choosing, and then symlink the ~/.config/joplin-desktop to the folder you chose.

I think others may have done this, you can try searching the forum

One other thing that can be done, if you’re not planning on removing the SD card for the most part: add its device path to your /etc/fstab so that it permanently is mounted on boot like with a normal harddrive.
