Help understanding Web Edition on Linux

I’m trying to shift my workflow and expectations away from running duplicacy strictly from the command line and scheduling backups via manual crontab entries.

  1. What is the best practice for where to place the duplicacy binary on Linux?
  2. Do backups still run even if the web server isn’t running?

Stick it into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

Backups only run with the web server on, or with cli.

Is it possible to choose where the .duplicacy-web folder will be created? I am running the executable as service and the folder is created under /.duplicacy-web. Not a good place for that files…
