VMWare Harbor: How to point your registry to a specific directory to use as datastore

I am setting up VMWare Harbor as an image registry (just like a docker trusted registry) and I am not sure where it is currently configured to store images once pushed.

I could not find documentation on how to do this, so my question is: How would I go about mapping Harbor to store images on a specific directory (/data01) that has already had disk space allocated for the images?

In harbor v1.5, it store data more than just for docker registery.
It also store data for it's own ui, adminserver ,etc. in /data for default.
But for now harbor did not provide an easy configuration to change the default storage path /data.
(not sure if it is doable in v1.6)

So if you really want to change the default storage path,
you may search all the yaml for /data and replace it by your new path /data01.
Or, you can create /data and like up with /data01, before you start to run up the Harbor

Harbor uses the standard docker registry behind the scenes, it just provides a nice UI and interface to use it.

Configuring it depends on how you're deploying Harbor itself. There are instructions for configuring a storage backend in the installation guide. If you have a mountpoint like /data01 you want to use, it is probably something like this:

storage:
  filesystem:
    rootdirectory: /data01

See the instructions for your harbor installed method for more information.
