Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ovh/the-bastion/issues/434

Is there a way to change the folder where ttyrec save recorded sessions.
The default behavior is using the user home directory and ttyrec subdirectory.
I've tried to add "ttyrecAdditionalParameters": [/var/ttyrec] but without success.

This is indeed in the home folder of the users, and in several places the code (and other scripts handling the lifecycle of the ttyrec files, such as encryption and push to a remote filer once encrypted) are expecting that.

I suppose that in your case, /var/ttyrec would be a mountpoint and you'd like to have all the ttyrec files under it, still keeping the hierarchy of /var/ttyrec/$USER/$IP/files.ttyrec ?
