XDG base dirs?

[dschep]

Should I use XDG Base dirs for the config? EG: ~/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml instead of ~/.ntfy.yml. Use ~/Library/Appplication Support/ntfy/ntfy.yml on Mac? Windows???

What are the pros? Is this like the new hotness for config files?

To me seems like overkill (but maybe I missed the point)

If it's to support multiple targets, I'd rather have the concept of targets
within a single config so I don't have to repeat credentials and maintain
them in multiple places

Cleaner home dir & more up to date conventions, nothing to do with our discussions around multiple targets and just using multiple configs. I probably won't ever implement this 😛

I support this for two reasons:

1. cleaner home dir
2. Those that backup ./config won't have to also include .ntfy

Thanks for the consideration!

Duly noted @jungle-boogie. I guess ntfy could just support both XDG(or other OS equivalents) and ~/.ntfy.yml locations. With.. the XDG style taking precedence i guess since it's more "correct."

Note, the solution merged in e01c65d retains backwards compatibility with ~/.ntfy.yml config files, but prefers OS specific locations (such as ~/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml on Linux).
