Home dirs in ns7 are under /var/lib/nethserver/home/, with the aim of keeping growing data under /var/lib/nethserver. By time some solutions to mount them under /home were discussed in this forum.
In NS8 no decision has be taken yet on this point. We can discuss what is the best choice for them. By now the distro defaults are applied. The most important thing to know is the path where we store growing data, which in turn resolves to where Podman stores volumes data.
That path is relative to the module home directory for “rootless” modules, and relative to /var/lib/containers/storage/volumes (see the output of podman system info) for rootfull containers.
What do we expect from ns8?
- Preserving the underlying distro defaults or configuring Podman to write data under a single path?
- Is this decision important for virtual machines?
- Is it relevant to bare metal installations only?
