Hi,

@julien-f from sources documentation still instructs to set path relative to packages/xo-server like it used to be:

[http.mounts]
'/' = '../xo-web/dist/'

sample.config.toml says that paths are relative to configuration file so this would end up looking xo-web/dist path from $HOME/.config/ since configuration is at $HOME/.config/xo-server/config.toml

Noticed this while fixing my "well known installer script"

@ronivay Thanks for the report, I'll change this by make it part of the default config, it won't be necessary for the user to configure it themself.

In fact it's already the case, I just need to remove this from the documentation

fix(docs/from sources): no need to configure `/` mount point

bill.gertz

All,

For anyone that happens into this thread and wondered if the well known installer script was confirmed working correctly. It was fixed as noted above and tested on a fresh install, The rule of thumb, a bit tongue in cheek, when it comes to these files is:

Leave the config in /etc[/xo]/xo-server/config.toml alone.
Set the over rides in ~/.config/xo-server/config.toml home .
Use only /etc[/xo]/xo-server/config.toml and you're on your own.

On the last point point I mean that you need ensure whatever you use there contains attributes for the original file plus your overrides. Copying the sample config packages/xo-server/sample.config.toml to /etc[/xo]/xo-server/config.toml may not capture all of the attributes that need to be set.

@julien-f If missed the spirit of this please, please correct me.

@bill-gertz It depends of how you install it, but it look ok. In our appliances we install and run xo-server as a global service, and there is only /etc/xo-server/config.toml which is used for user customization (you could remove it and it would still work).
