# localhome
|
|
|
|
## Description / Use cases
|
|
Sometimes a local home directory makes more sense than the home on a network share.
|
|
|
|
For example, with:
|
|
* Laptops with Wi-Fi connectivity
|
|
* Laptops that are also used outside the school network (e.g., teacher devices)
|
|
* Devices assigned to a specific user who synchronizes data using a sync client
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
Nothing
|
|
|
|
## Activation / Default
|
|
To enable the local home directory, set the variable `localhome` to `true` (default: false).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
* Hosts in group `laptops` will get the localhome.
|
|
* All computers in the desktop group, except the PC with IP address 10.0.2.33, will have their home directory on the network (default).\
|
|
The PC with IP address 10.0.2.33 also has a local home directory.
|
|
* Hosts in group `desktop` will have home on net (default)
