    What system wide software stores their configs in anything but /etc? Data, sure, but not configs.

      Docker installs in /var/lib. Tenable and Nessus use /opt.

      There are tons of packages that store config files in places other than /etc.

        I don’t know what Tenable and Nessus are. I’m guess you have to install them from outside the package manager or build them from source, in which case, yeah, using /opt for config would be acceptable.

        Docker’s config file is located at:

        /etc/docker/daemon.json

          It’s not in RHEL. Tenable and Nessus are vulnerability scanners, and Nessus at least can be installed via yum.
