Option to set config.properties, database.db and logfile location?

[l-t-k]

I'm missing an option to specify a different than the default app location for the files mentioned. I now it's possible to set another config.properties location, but this is not working if the config.properties still needs to be generated (like on first start ups).

Option like nzbhydra does: --config, --database and --logfile

I'm trying to make a dockerfile with the linuxserver.io base image for this app. That's why it's needed.

It is possible to use a different config.properties via the -c commandline argument, but then you have to supply one. But not the database and logfile. They are located where autosub is installed. Why should you want to put them elsewhere?

Because of how docker works. Pulling a new image will destroy the old container and builds a new one. Files like config.properties, database.db and maybe logfiles should be persisted. A location within the container can be set as a volume and will remain on disk if the container is deleted/updated.

Stupid solution of docker, but in my opion is docker a complete waste of time. The correct solution should be that an docker update process would first backup configuration data, before installing a new docker image.

But besides that, I can accommodate you. I can change autosub so it will use the location of the folder specified on the commandline -c option for all three files. Would that be suffient?

That will be sufficient! Thanks in advance!

Ok I will build it in the next release.

I have released a new version with this functionality.
