i am also searching for this. i renamed the original container to shiori_bkp and setup a new one.
There you can add a folder inside your on your docker folder , e.g. shiori (/volume1/docker/shiori) this will be used to redirect the database
/volume1/docker/shiori
on the volume settings add your newly created folder you can select it like the one you created inside the docker folder:
/docker/shiori
then set the Mount-Path to
/srv/shiori
Now when you start shiori for the first time the database shiori.db will be created. After the first added bookmark you will find also 2 new folders archive and thumb inside this folder.

Now take a full backup of your container shiori with Docker>Setup>Export container contents and settings !
Marius has a great explanation on this: https://mariushosting.com/synology-how-to-export-and-import-a-docker-container/

Save this file on a save place and copy it to your local pc in a temporary folder. File looks like shiori.syno.txz
Extract this file with 7-zip or any other archiver you have already installed and which can handle this file-type.
After the first extract you see inside the folder a file called image.tar, expand this also.
now all your data is located in \image\srv\shiori
archive
thumb
shiori.db

Now stop the container shiori !
go to your folder /volume1/docker/shiori and make a new folder, eg with name "fresh" and move all files from the new setup inside this folder. Then copy the folders archive, thumb and the shiori.db to your folder /volume1/docker/shiori.
Start the container again and you will find all your already existing data.
