Sorry. Didn't leave proper spacing after the original quote.

The Virtualenv Installation guide has you install PostgreSQL as the database backend and HyperKitty stores attachments in the database as blobs. The default data directory for PostgreSQL in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is located at: /var/lib/postgresql/16/main
However, if you wanted you could always change the location before initializing the database by updating the setting in the postgresql.conf file located at: /etc/postgresql/16/main/postgresql.conf
Another option could be to use symlinks. Move the data directory to a location of choice and then create a symlink in the original location that points to the new/actual location.
