Hello,
Tweaking my services, I have wondered where to put their configuration.
For longruns, one could either put the in the data/ and env/
subdirectories, or in a /etc subdirectory. The former allows to easily
have different instances of the same services but the files might be
harder to locate, and requires to update the s6-rc database to change
the configuration. The latter allows to use a well-known location and to
update the configuration without updating the s6-rc database.
For oneshots, as one cannot use neither env/nor database. There is no
much solutions.
The same question goes for helper scripts (for example, the "event
handler" of udhcpc, responsible for applying the configuration). I'm
torn between putting them in s6-rc/scripts/the-service-that-uses-them, a
"scripts" subdirectory in their configuration, or something like
{/lib,/usr/share}/the-service-that-uses-them. Moreover, considering that
the service scripts are moved around, use of absolute paths is required.
What are you doing, and why ?
Regards,
