Overview

JFrog products have a common directory structure for each installation type, which is broken up into two main parts:

  • Application Directory (immutable) containing all product application binaries, scripts and default configurations.
  • Data Directory (mutable) containing all customizable configurations, data generated by the application and logs.

1. Customizing the RPM/Debian JFrog product data

There are 2 ways to customize the data folder:

  1. Manual Option: Create a symbolic link from your custom folders to the default folders. For example, $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var → /mnt/artifactory/var .
  2. Environment Variable Option: Set the JF_PRODUCT_VAR environment variable to point to a custom location in your system's environment variables files. See Ubuntu System environment variables for reference.
