Changing a Replicate instance's data directory

Last updated: 10/2/2026

This topic explains how to change the location of a Replicate instance's data directory. Changing the data directory of a Replicate instance might need to be performed, for example, if the drive on which the current directory resides has insufficient space or if you are moving from a temporary POC setup to production.

To do this:

  1. Uninstall the instance.
  2. Move the data directory to a new location.
  3. Install an Replicate instance, specifying the new location of the data directory.
