sudo mkdir /mnt/ssddocker 
sudo mkdir /mnt/ssdhome 
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/ssddocker 
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/ssdhome 

2. Synchronize files in /home and /var/lib/docker with /mnt/ssdhome and /mnt/ssddocker

sudo rsync -aXS /var/lib/docker/.  /mnt/ssddocker/.
sudo rsync -aXS /home/. /mnt/ssdhome/.

Change mount points

sudo mv /var/lib/docker  /var/lib/docker-old
sudo mv /home /home-old

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker
sudo mkdir /home

sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p1 
sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p2

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /var/lib/docker
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /home

Save mount changes permanently

sudo vi /etc/fstab 

#add the following commands into /etc/fstab:
