How to change temp path

The tedge command can be used to change the temp path. By default the directory used is /tmp.

To change the temp path, run:

sudo tedge config set tmp.path /path/to/directory

Note that the directory must be available to tedge-agent user and tedge-agent group.

For example:

# create a directory (with/without sudo)

mkdir ~/tedge_tmp_dir

# give ownership to tedge-agent

sudo chown tedge-agent:tedge-agent ~/tedge_tmp_dir 

# reconnect to cloud.

To revert the path back to its default value:

sudo tedge config unset tmp.path
