Hello, Is it possible to install the Gluu Server in a different directory than /opt? Let's assume that we do not have control on the partitions and the partition /opt is on do not have enough space. Thanks

Hi Cedric, We haven't tried but we will highly encourage you to install Gluu Server in a system where you will get root privilege or make sure all administrators are in one team who will manage your Gluu Servers. There is a possibility to change location of various components of Gluu Server from setup.py script but 'gluu-server-container' will be installed inside /opt [Here](https://support.gluu.org/installation/3718/installing-gluu-on-a-different-volume-encrypted/) is one community ticket where user tried to make /opt secondary but I believe he had root privilege and sufficient disk space in /opt as well and he used sym links only.

Just make a link from `/opt` For example ``` # ln -s /usr/local/gluu /opt/gluu-server-3.0.1 ```
