There are many hardcoded paths that force specific folders to be used.
This can cause issues if used as a systemd service with strict permissions or in immutable distros like nixos

Hey @icovada

Do you have any examples of this? Are you talking about things like /tmp/migrations_complete and /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf or something else?

Everything works fine in Docker, but in other cases one might not want to use those paths and instead contain everything inside a single application folder

I see. Makes sense.

  • /usr/src/app/import_presets could be a relative path, since it's just accessing the import_presets folder inside the application folder
  • BASE_DIR and ROOT_DIR is technically only traversing the file path from settings.py to the ./app/ folder, so I don't think it will cause issues
  • The cache LOCATION could be defined with an env var? It doesn't particularly matter where it is located, as long as it is accessible

Let me know if you need any help on this.
