Install directory

[henrywright]

Hey

Where do you recommend I install the runner? I'm using Debian

Hey @henrywright

We use /etc/cavalcade and add the following symlink ln -s /etc/cavalcade/bin/cavalcade /usr/local/bin/cavalcade.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with puppet but this is how we set it up and configure it for our local development Ubuntu VMs https://github.com/Chassis/Cavalcade/blob/main/modules/cavalcade/manifests/init.pp

Hey @roborourke

I don't use Puppet actually. Would nohup do the job?

Is the symlink necessary because you have that directory in your path?

[roborourke]

The location ultimately doesn’t matter that much, we use /etc because that’s where other services live. The symlink just means the executable file is in the path.

I linked to the puppet manifest as it’s just a means of creating the config files and creating a service to ensure it’s running.

[henrywright]

I guess having the executable in my path will save me having to pass the path to my WordPress root folder to Cavalcade

Thanks for explaining. That has really helped

[roborourke]

No worries, I'll close this out for now but happy to continue the conversation 😄
