a Trytond service

a Trytond service

I'm trying to write a service for Trytond

There are tons of things i don't know/understand

But this is the first one:

The Tryton manual states that I need to indicate a "data directory" to the
daemon and that such directory should be:

"The directory where Tryton stores files and so the user running trytond
must have write access on this directory.
Default: The db folder under the user home directory running trytond."

See here (notice that this is in the "database" section of te configuration)

http://doc.tryton.org/4.4/trytond/doc/topics/configuration.html#database

My idea was that Tryton would have used a postgres managed by the omonimous
service, so my user and my home folder shouldn't be concerned, here

I don't know enough of the Unix assumptions here

Any hint appreciated
Thanks in advance

I assume this "path" is for the sqlite database. Did you ask the tryton
community? They are quite helpful (I did a lot of work for
openerp/tryton back in the 0.x/1.x ages).

I suggest making the service more flexible to allow using a sqlite
database, as this would be far enough for samll installations. (Well,
one may argue that "small installations" don't need Tryton, but I one
likes it, why not? There has been a server-less version of tryton until
about a year ago.)

Some users for services use some /var/run directory as there home
directory, which works if the data doesn't need to survive reboots.
Otherwise, the data should go in to /var/lib.

The Tryton documentation isn't very clear to me either, Using PostgreSQL
sounds like a good place to start, and ideally it would be flexible
enough that any of the options are available when using the Guix
service.

Thank you Christopher

Hartmut, good to know that there is a fellow trytonista here ;-)

I asked on their mailing list and the answer I got is that the data older
could be used for attachments, for example.

So I think we are in the situation where the folder has to be writable to
trytond AND its contents should be resilient to reboots.

That is clarified, so far

Their mailing list is hosted on google groups so I can only point you
there, for reference
