Hello, I have a mini computer with an internal SSD of 128GB, running Ubuntu. I am trying to install umbrel in an external SSD or, at least, use the external SSD for umbrel data. I tried different ways, but I always get stuck with errors (I’m a total beginner!). Is there any “easy” way to do it?  
Thank you!
