For user-readable files or media I store them under ~/docker/data, and for everything else I store them under ~/docker/stacks/[service] where ~/docker/stacks is maintained by Dockge.

Is there a better way to do this?

I tend to use /opt/[service]/, like for example /opt/forgejo/. It's outside of any user's Homedir and it seems to fit into what the FHS 3.0 (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) defines.

    I do this as well. Though if I'm deploying a stack(grafana+prometheus+cadvisor) then it all goes under a single folder like /opt/stackname/

    But if I'm running multiple services that are mostly separate or not in the same stack then they go in their own folders like /opt/nginx/ and /opt/grafana/
