deploy_cache_dir defaults to /opt

[nvergottini]

deploy_cache_dir defaults /opt, which does not seem like a good place for your jar files to land. Should this point to somewhere within the WildFly install home (/opt/wildfly/standalone/deployments?) or is this meant to be somewhere outside of the WildFly install home?

This is meant to be somewhere. It's just a dir for downloads.

This module do not use deployment-scanner for deployments ($WILDFLY_HOME/standalone/deployments), it uses Management API instead, for two reasons:

• It works the same way for both execution modes (domain and standalone)
• It provides a synchronous feedback about a deployment. (i.e. you know when it fails)

[nvergottini]

Thanks. That clears it up. Just seems that /opt is not a good default.

[jairojunior]

It probably isn't, as /var/cache/wget

But it's been there since older releases and I couldn't find a better place. Do you have any suggestions? 😄

[nvergottini]

Too bad Puppet doesn't provide a common place for file staging. How about /var/cache/biemond-wildfly?

[jairojunior]

Puppet has a vardir (https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.10/dirs_vardir.html) which I thought about, but don't think it's a good idea.

Something in /var/cache/ would be more appropriate, never thought about biemond-wildfly, but might be a good idea. Although I would rather use something generic that already exist. 🤔
