Install Nexus in secondary HD (not in HD OS)

[creobox1975]

Hi Dan, how are you? hope everything is going well.

Sorry for the intrusion, but I would like to ask you if it is possible to modify the installation path of nexus-iq for a custom one? I tried yesterday to manually change the paths in the files but the daemond fails and does not find the service.

the need arises from wanting to install nexus iq on a second dedicated disk leaving the main disk apart from the application.

GitHub - sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-iq-server-installer: Installer for Nexus IQ Server

I have modified the /rpm/nexus-iq-server.spec file with the secondary HD paths, but the installation is fine but the service is not up. I have modified the path of the daemon files

@creobox1975 Thanks for opening this issue! I don't know of an easy way to change the installation directory. (If anyone out there has ideas about how to alter the installer to support this, PR's and pointers are welcome!).

That said, you might try using a linked folder that puts the directory /opt/sonatype onto the disk you desire. This way the paths used by the daemon should still work. NOTE: I haven't tried this, but please post your results here if you do give it a whirl.
One thing to be aware of: make sure the disk you use is available at boot time - as I've seen some issues when a machine boots, but the required external disks are not yet mounted when the system daemon launches...
