Storing containers/images in different path #357

Hi, is it possible to customize udocker's config to store the images/containers in different folder than home directory? Some HPC systems are set with a limited space on home folder making it cumbersome to store many multiple containers. Thank you :)

hi, yes check in the installation manual the setting of environment variables, to install or have the images and containers in custom dirs https://indigo-dc.github.io/udocker/installation_manual.html#5-environment-variables
