Support XDG Base Directory Specification
hyperupcall opened this issue · comments
Greetings!
Although an issue similar to this (#747) was closed, I wish to create a new one
A proposal to support the XDG Base Directory Specification - it has many benefits.
The -config
style option doesn't cut it because it won't get used in all invocations of ngrok (ex. exec-style family of syscalls, non-interactive bash scripts (by default, expand_aliases
is not set), etc.). An option to configure the directory would be great, but following the XDG Base Directory Specification will ensure ngrok
Does The Right Thing.
I propose, instead of hardcoding ~/.ngrok
, the following steps are taken:
- Check if
~/.ngrok
exists. If it does, use it - If not, then use
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/ngrok}
By scanning the docs, it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) the directory is only used to contain the default ngrok.yml
, which is why I'm using XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Thankies,
Edwin
