It is no problem to move the base directory.
1. stop the database server
2. move the base directory as a whole to some other location
mv /var/lib/pgsql/10/data/base /some/other/location
3. create a symbolic link pointing to the new location
cd /var/lib/pgsql/10/data
ln -s /some/other/location/base .
4. start the database server
BTW, an upgrade to a newer major version would be a good idea.
Regards,
Holger
