Is there any way to repoint the use of /tmp for Ignition? If you are following the CIS standards, one of the rules is to set /tmp to noexec. Generally for most application you need to adjust its use of /tmp and point ti elsewhere it can write to. I looked through the ignition.conf and didn’t see anything obvious to change. Is there anyway I can change it? Thanks! ```auto NFO | jvm 1 | 2022/08/11 11:35:03 | 11:35:02,895 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Found resource [data//logback.xml] at

yes, you can add `wrapper.java.additional.XXX=-Djava.io.tmpdir=$PATH_TO_TEMP` to your ignition.conf to tell java to use an alternate directory for your temp dir set the XXX value to a unique digit ---

Set `-Dorg.sqlite.tmpdir` in `ignition.conf` and see if that changes anything for you. SQLite is doing this, and it’s defaulting to the Java temp dir. ---

Hot dang you guys are quick! Magic settings: ```auto # grep temp data/ignition.conf wrapper.java.additional.2=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/bin/ignition/temp ``` Any reason I shouldn’t point it here? The directory already existed so I felt that was satisfactory. ---

I have a suspicion that the “temp” dir inside `$IGNITION` is not actually temporary and nothing ever cleans it up… but maybe I’m just jaded and wrong. It could very well get deleted every startup. ---

> [@Jordan\_Larson](#): > > `wrapper.java.additional.2=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/bin/ignition/temp` For folks that are playing with containerization of ignition and the docker image this was a major headache. This java argument was how I was finally able to resolve getting the containers to start on our RHEL 8 servers with podman play kube.
