docker - change storage folder dynamically

Is it possible to specify with an option docker run [option] the location where the container will be stored ?

I'd like to avoid to migrate all existing containers before changing storage folder.

Thanks for your help.

No, it isn't possible.

You could play with symlinks for existing images, volumes, containers after having changed data storage. e.g.

sudo ln -s /var/lib/docker/containers/52d23908ea920a244ced21afc8ceed0cb367089a937b9028cf2dcfd7b41fa66a /mnt/newStarageLocation/containers/52d23908ea920a244ced21afc8ceed0cb367089a937b9028cf2dcfd7b41fa66a

but in my opinion it would be very dirty and dangerous.
