I was playing with v7.9.16 today for some module testing and noticed that the zip installer has picked up hard coded paths pointing at `/usr/local/bin/ignition`, `/var/lib/ignition/data`, and `/var/lib/ignition/temp`. Maybe more… My zip install script is now busted, and it looks like it breaks any attempt to do multiple installs in one VM (not that I do that much).

Was this deliberate? Or just something that snuck in? I’ve noted that it is _ **not** _ true for v8.0.16 nor v8.1.0.

This was not intentional. It should be fixed for 7.9.17. There was some discussion of re-uploading artifacts with corrected paths but it never went anywhere AFAIK…

It screwed up kcollins’ docker images too: [https://github.com/thirdgen88/ignition-docker/issues/38](https://github.com/thirdgen88/ignition-docker/issues/38)

We’ll get those Linux zips updated shortly - I was having issues with uploading to our file server that are now resolved.

I was wondering why those SHA256 hashes [changed](https://github.com/thirdgen88/ignition-docker/commit/ce1c80729a8af9eff227dbd637de1d0bd9e4ed65). 😀

Hey Kevin, have you tried the Linux x64 download recently for 7.9.16? I updated it last week but when I went to download it I wasn’t getting the latest version of the zip I had uploaded. Hoping it was a caching/PEBCAK issue on my end.

Yeah, that latest version is what tripped the SHA256 hashes I had coded into my Dockerfile from the original 7.9.16 release packaging. Should be all good now…
