Set default upload path to a music folder in the pynitus root directory?

[pdrd]

It would make it possible to move around a complete, valid pynitus-instance by moving the root folder, which would have some benefits..

• easier to deploy as a package for various package managers
• stable defaults for the config file, so that pynitus can be run directly without the need of changing the config

How do you think about it?

I think we need to have a discussion on the topic of shipping a pre-baked config file.

It's no good to assume that the installation path is a sane choice for uploading files to, when there might be other config items in the future for which we don't have sane defaults. This is why I think we should discuss future features and resulting config entries and vet the idea thoroughly.

On the topic whether the installation path is a sane default:

In most *nix systems, code/software and data are at least somewhat separated. Which makes sense, because the software partitions are not written too as frequently as the data partitions. Also, the amount of disk space needed for the two differ greatly.
In my opinion, this separation is valuable and makes sense for most setups.

By defining a default value, we're not forcing the user to use the installation directory, but it might be misleading to some. Maybe we should present the user with a setup assistant when the Pynitus App is first accessed after installation to encourage users to decide for themselves?

I'm not decided on the issue yet and I'd like to hear further discussion on it.
