VictoriaMetrics. New directory structure design

[Slenkis]

I would like to discuss the situation around the Victoria Metrics helper-script
The Victoria Metrics project is developing and has separated part of the functionality in the form of VictoriaLogs into a separate repository.

At the moment, the script creates an lxc container in which the victoria-metrics-prod and victoria-logs-prod services are launched using systemd.
they have a common WorkingDirectory=/opt/victoriametrics, but I don't think it's the best way

My wishes:
0. separate VictoriaLogs into a separate helper-script (separate LXC container)

1. store vmetrics and vlogs executable files in /usr/bin/
2. store vmetrics and vmutils configuration files in /etc/victoria-metrics/
3. store vlogs and vlutils configuration files in /etc/victoria-logs/
4. store env files for systemd in directories 2 and 3 respectively. Name them .conf
5. store the metrics themselves in /var/lib/victoria-metrics-data/, and logs in /var/lib/victoria-logs-data/

As a visual explanation of the current state of the project and the set of functions, I attach the diagram below:

I invite the script maintainer to the discussion: @tremor021

For what an seperate LXC only for this? Its useless, thats an oneliner and can be done in existing LXC's in 1min

[MickLesk]

I don't really care, but without knowing what the part does, I can't help you. I haven't used the main program or anything else. If it's like Firefly and Firefly Importer, then sure, but I don't understand the point of the logs in a single Debian LXC.

[Slenkis]

the name of the script is "Victoria Metrics", therefore the user launching it wants to get a LXC container in which metrics can be stored. he is not interested in logs. Victoria Logs is a separate project and it does not intersect with VMetrics in any way, so it should be at least optional when creating a VMetrics container, and it is better if the logs are in a separate LXC container

[MickLesk]

That's your opinion now, last week or the week before last people were whining and creating issues because logs were missing in the LXC. You can't please anyone.

[tremor021]

@Slenkis what the hell? Last week you complained that Logs is missing from the script! I've added it to the script, now you complain that it should be separate?

Since version 1.25.0, victorialogs has been moved to a separate GitHub repository: VictoriaMetrics/victorialogs

Currently, the community Proxmox install script installs victoriametrics but does not install victorialogs, which leads to incomplete functionality.

Please consider updating the script to include victorialogs as part of the installation process.

the first request was to add functionality, now the discussion is to bring everything into a convenient form
