Is it possible to generate a new foxx app in an arbitrary location?
foxx-manager install EMPTY /some-app
creates and installs some-app from the default /var/lib/arangodb-apps location. I'm running ArangoDB 2.7.1. I've tried the --javascript.app-path switch, but it isn't recognized as an option even though it's referenced here
The javascript.app-path switch should work (alternatively you can try using the app-path setting in the javascript section of your arangod.conf) but it will be used for all Foxx apps. However this is an option of the arangod server (which performs the actual installation of Foxx apps), not of the foxx-manager CLI (which just tells the server what to install).
There's no way to install a Foxx app outside the app-path. Mount paths are always translated to paths that are relative to the app-path.
You're saying the switch isn't recognized. Can you give an example of how you tried to use it and the error message you received? Are you running arangod directly? And have you made sure there isn't already a daemonized version of arangod running in the background?
