Deploy App on a Search Head Cluster that contains a 3 folders with different files on members

Hi,

I have created a custom app to implement ACME on search head cluster members with a script on bin folder that update files/certificates on 3 folders
./acme
./certs
./backup
the content of these folders are required to be different on each server (deployer and 3 members).

How to correctly deploy/implement this configuration?

Thanking you in advance,
Graça

The app is the same, and the configuration is also common.
Is there any other folder where we can put the app  ensure that the app default folder config files are loaded? (Without using etc/system/local)

If the app is updating itself then it should write to the bin or local directory.  Local is preferred so the changes are not overwritten when the app is updated.

The point of the SHC Deployer is to ensure all SHC members have the same configuration.  If there is a need for unique configurations then they will have to be done manually (or perhaps using Ansible or something similar).
