Modifying docker paths?

I’m looking to set up the musicbrainz-docker docker image on my server, but due to how my server’s disks are partitioned, the default paths do not work for me (It attempts to write to partitions with only 16GB of space…)

Can the directories that everything is written to be modified? I tried manually modifying the docker-compose as a proof of concept, but of course this results in the helper scripts throwing errors. I figure I should ask if there’s an easier way! Or perhaps an alternative?

Here is the documentation about this setting for Docker daemon:

Here is a tutorial for moving the data (if needed):
