Directory Structure

Every serverlet has a predefined directory structure. All your data lives in the /srv/ directory. You have full user permissions to this directory, and it’s the only one where data is stored permanently — data outside this directory may not survive a restart.

• /srv/bin/ — location for your applications’ binary files
• /srv/config/ — location for application configuration files
• /srv/data — location for application data
• /srv/log — location for application logs
• /srv/service — location for runit configuration files
• /srv/www — location for your application

It’s not a good idea to change this structure (delete or rename it) — doing so could break some applications. That said, you’re free to change the contents of the /srv/ directory however you like. No directories other than /srv/ and /tmp/ can be modified.
