Hello everyone. I have configured Nexus PRO version 3.58.0-01 which is running as docker container in EC2 instance. I am having trouble to understand how we can attach new volume to the existing nexus repository to host one of the hosted repository.

I have already attached new volume and mount that as nexus-docker-release folder. And I have configured my docker-compose to use this folder as new volume and deployed but still no luck. I was not able to create new blob store using this new volume.

Here is my docker-compose file:

**Previous:**

version: “3”

services:  
nexus:  
image: sonatype/nexus3:3.58.0  
restart: always  
volumes:  
- “nexus-data:/nexus-data”  
ports:  
- “8081:8081”

volumes:  
nexus-data: {}

New:

version: “3”

services:  
nexus:  
image: sonatype/nexus3:3.58.0  
restart: always  
volumes:  
- “nexus-data:/nexus-data”  
- “nexus-docker-release:/nexus-docker-release”  
ports:  
- “8081:8081”

volumes:  
nexus-data: {}  
nexus-docker-release: {}

Seeing below error in logs when I tried to create new blob store using newly created volume. Can we link separate volume as blob other than nexus-data?
