Closed

Description

@MetalCar

Is your feature request related to a problem? 😢 Please describe.
I want to configure the path were the database lies. I want to share my database across multiple devices and want to "host" it on my nextcloud. So i can share it with ease.

Describe the solution you'd like 🤔
I want to configure a path where my database file lies.

    Dooit uses the XDG_DATA_DIR to store the data currently
    Can't you use a soft link to point it to real path? I guess that'd work

    Actually my dumbass forgot that there exists an option
    its called --db from which you can pass the file path for the db

    I'll close the issue

    $ dooit -h
    Usage: dooit [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
    
    Options:
      -v, --version      Show version and exit.
      -c, --config TEXT  Path to config file
      --db TEXT          Path to database file
      -h, --help         Show this message and exit.
    
    Commands:
      config-loc  Show config location.
      migrate     Migrate data from v2 to v3.
