[Suggestion] Make eleanorpath configurable

Open martindevora opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

I'd like to know whether it would be feasible to let Eleanor customize the eleanorpath variable which is used in several places of the project (for instance, in the update.py script. I'm running it in several servers whose home environment disk space is limited. Hence, I'm getting stuck due to 'No space left' errors and can't use Eleanor there.

Regards.

I'm having the same issue! Eleanor currently is using most of the space in my home directory when I have several perfectly empty mounted drives that I would much rather save the Eleanor data to.

Hello, you can create a symbolic link to workaround this, as I ended up doing.

Hey, I ran into the same issue as you, however, I use a different solution, that is probably what you were looking for: When you setup the eleanor.source() object, you can define the download path via that object's "post_dir" keyword.
