Change site root folder

[swissbuechi]

Hello everyone!

I want to limit the space for all my sites to 1GB.
Right now this is not possible with Docker Volumes…
My workaround right now:

• Addional data disk attached to vm
• 1GB partitions on the disk for each site
• docker-compose.override.yml to override volume htdocs with /var/www mount to /opt/sites/test.ch/app/
• Manually copy over all the stuff from the default htdocs folder /opt/easyengine/sites/test.ch/app to my new /var/www docker mount at /opt/sites/test.ch/app

docker-compose.override.yml

version: '3.5'

services:

  nginx:
    volumes:
      - "/opt/sites/test.ch/app:/var/www"

So this all works fine, it is just a to much work to do manually.
Writing a scripts to the work would also be possible but I’m too lazy…

Is there some better easyengine buildin way to change the site root folder?

How I think it schould work (but does not):

sudo ee site create test.ch --sites_path=/opt/sites/test.ch

Configuring project.
Creating site test.ch.
Copying configuration files.
Starting site's services.
Success: Configuration files copied.
Host entry already exists.
Checking and verifying site-up status. This may take some time.

+---------------+-------------------------------+
| Site          | http://test.ch                |
+---------------+-------------------------------+
| Site Root     | /opt/easyengine/sites/test.ch |
+---------------+-------------------------------+
| Alias Domains | None                          |

Site entry created.

Site Root should be /opt/sites/test.ch but actually is still default /opt/easyengine/sites/test.ch

How does the --sites_path= command work?

Thanks for all the answers!
