Fair enough. It's not for you (yet?). But does that make it a "piece of shit software"?

You rock! I love the dedication you have to actually rebuild all your models.

I spent a few hours making it myself. Of course based on the standard document.

But who knows what's inside?

I'm not into those since they just shift the complexity. People should learn how to package things and just do it. Ok, documentation on making dpkgs is pretty tough to understand and confusing.

But yeah, I guess with docker it's complete anarchy ( the bad kind of)

That's NFS shares? I might add that later although it's not very common or standard I guess. Thx

Depends on the scope of your project. But if they are services for example or you want them to be run by different users on the system, you could either use /opt or /usr/local. There is some discussion about which is better or how to choose: eg. https://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/pointcounterpoint-opt-vs-usrlocal . The FHS is mostly relevant when packaging your software though.

Yes, it is. FHS stands for Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

The FHS says the thing about /mnt. It's not normally meant to have subdirectories or be mounted to by default.

Many FHS things don't make much sense for single-user (human user) systems on modern hardware. /usr/local does though. It's for you (as admin) to install software that doesn't come with the os.

Added to new version. Thanks for the suggestion.

Done!

I'd be more than happy if this was used. Do whatever you want with it as long as you abide by the CC BY-SA-4.0 license. This means you can share freely and modify as long as you keep the authorship information and share with same license.

Thanks! Unfortunately I've used closed source whimsical.com for this and don't have a paid subscription. They only offer low-res for those accounts since recently :(

From my humble knowledge I would suggest /var/opt/XXX. It's the variable part of the /opt hierarchy.

/mnt is explicitly meant to be used as temporary mountpoint for admins. That's not a good place.

I think because they want to have files from different packages separate and easily addable and removable using symlinks.

Also some things in the FHS make no sense for modern computers where storage is cheap and system storage is rarely shared amongst systems. The same applies for single-users/desktop machines. But it's the only standard we have so, why not keep it for now.

You are entitled to your opinion but I think it's stupid and unhelpful. You are clearly wrong about it sucking for doing anything.
