In the Connector Gateway installation documentation, there is no specified preferred location for installing the CG packages. Currently, we have installed the CG packages in the home directory of the local user on our CG servers (Linux). However, there is a risk that these local users may be deleted upon termination.
Could you please advise on the best practice for directory location in Linux for installing these packages?
Have you looked at the install.sh file to see where the connector gateway is being installed? Also based on what I am seeing that this gateway does I would recommend using a service account to install this on the server. This way it is not tied to a human user and has less risk of being disabled when the human user leaves the org. Please let us know if this helps.
cat ./install.sh - This will show the contents of the file. This will allow you to see where the install will take place. On Linux devices most application are stored in the /etc directory the binary files are kept in the /bin directory.
sudo bash ./install.sh - This will run the installer with highest privileges. If you want to run as current user just remove sudo.
ls / - ls will list out the files and folders in the directory. This will help in discovery of how the file system works on linux and where the distro is installing packages.
