# Changes for Moving Config File to /etc/transmission-rss-manager ## Overview This update moves the configuration file from the application directory to `/etc/transmission-rss-manager/config.json` for better system organization, while maintaining backward compatibility by checking the original location as a fallback. ## Changes Made ### 1. Server.js Updates - Changed default config location to `/etc/transmission-rss-manager/config.json` - Added fallback location (`path.join(__dirname, 'config.json')`) for backward compatibility - Enhanced `loadConfig()` function to try primary location first, then fallback location - Updated `saveConfig()` function to try saving to primary location first, then fallback - Added `installPath` property to configuration to store the application installation path for easier updates ### 2. Installer Updates - Added `CONFIG_DIR="/etc/transmission-rss-manager"` variable to config-module.sh - Updated `create_directories()` in dependencies-module.sh to create the config directory - Updated permission settings to ensure proper access to config directory - Added checks for the CONFIG_DIR variable to ensure it's set - Modified service-setup-module.sh to include CONFIG_DIR in the environment variables for the systemd service - Updated file-creator-module.sh to write the initial config.json to the new location ### 3. Documentation Updates - Updated README.md to reflect new config file location - Added entry to the changelog for version 2.0.3 - Updated code examples in README - Bumped version from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 in both README.md and package.json ## Technical Details ### Config File Loading Process 1. Try to load config from primary location (`/etc/transmission-rss-manager/config.json`) 2. If not found, try fallback location (`/config.json`) 3. If neither exists, create a new config file at primary location 4. If primary location is not writable, fall back to application directory ### Configuration Storage Logic - Primary storage location: `/etc/transmission-rss-manager/config.json` - Fallback location: `/config.json` - Automatic migration from fallback to primary when possible - Always try to write to primary first, then fallback if needed ## Benefits - More standard Linux configuration location in /etc - Easier to find and edit configuration - Clear separation between code and configuration - Maintains backward compatibility with existing installations - Simplified update process by storing installation path
