I can’t find the ignition.conf file in my Debian install. I don’t have a /var/lib/ignition folder and a search for ignition.conf doesn’t find anything. I don’t recall installing to a non-standard folder. Where should I be finding this file?

This is using 8.0.16.

Try looking under `/usr/local/bin/ignition/data/`… I believe that is where the installer now defaults to placing all files unless directed otherwise.
