Question: How to change the default BASEDIR from ~/.octoprint to something custom
I'm currently installing multiple instances of Octoprint on Raspberry Pi, which uses differing ports and appeared to work quite well. However, all share the same ~/.octoprint location for BASEDIR.
Looking at ./lib/python3.9/site-packages/octoprint/settings/init.py seems to suggest that if a basedir is provided then it will use that rather than the default.
What is the correct way to set the BASEDIR for Octoprint.settings.settings?
What did you already try to solve it?
I've looked at the documentation here: octoprint.settings — OctoPrint master documentation but doesn't suggest where I should correctly set this, rather than hack the code around which will probably break with an update.
Have you tried running in safe mode?
