opt is nice, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.12.html code in /opt/koha and data in /var/opt/koha We've been using this pattern at the place I just left (not for Koha but other things) and it makes it very easy and (for us at least was--your mileage will vary) intuitive. -- side note-- /var/opt instead of /opt/var allows you to keep a var-like disk management strategy for all of /var without having to make it a special case. -reed On 13 July 2016 at 13:58, David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> wrote:
Hi all,
I was just reviewing the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, and it’s led me to think that the package backups should be written to /var/lib/koha rather than /var/spool/koha.
Compare http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.8.html and http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.14.html
I say this because I want to make use of /var/spool/koha/instance/X to store data for later processing, but notice that /var/spool/koha/instance can only be written to by root, and thus is inaccessible to the Koha user.
So I figure that we should make /var/spool/koha/instance owned by the Koha user and just have backups owned by root like usual. That would solve the issue.
But on top of that… I’m wondering if we should be using /var/lib/koha/instance/backups for storing the SQL and config backups. I’m open to other ideas, but backups don’t really seem like spooled data to me.
