documentation for configuring service #21

Closed missinglink closed 5 years ago

missinglink commented 5 years ago

heya,

I am following the docs to install an os-service (on OSX and Linux).

It's not immediately clear how I would go about configuring the service to use a non-standard directory for data storage.

The docs say that it uses conf and env-paths but it's not clear how I would go about creating a file to modify the default data directory (and where this file lives on disk).

Check out the options section when you run dat-store --help

You can set the default data directory with the --storage-location command.

Also check out this part of the readme. Installing the service as a daemon doesn't work on OSX at the moment, and it's still a bit buggy on linux. 😅 I'd advice using dat store run-service in the meantime and watching the repo for new releases.
