Configurable working directory #127

Open EmielBruijntjes opened 2 years ago

EmielBruijntjes commented 2 years ago

Hello,

When running 'freight-cache', a temporary working directory is created in $VARCACHE. And because $VARCACHE is also normally exposed via a webserver, the temporary files in this directory are also accessible from the outside. I'm not sure if this is a vulnerability, maybe it it not even an issue, but I find it not so elegant. In this pull request I added a config-option $TEMPDIR that can be set to use a different temporary directory instead.

Maybe it helps someone.
