AYON_LAUNCHER_STORAGE_DIR question for shared machines

Hi there,

Our workstations use non-roaming user profiles in a strictly windows based environment. Users often work on different workstations.

At the moment, Ayon downloads updates every time a user logs in. Our workstations also use Deep Freeze, so the downloaded addons are deleted on restart, so all downloads are lost.

I was looking at the following environment variables to help with this situation:

AYON_LAUNCHER_STORAGE_DIR
AYON_LAUNCHER_LOCAL_DIR

I’m not sure if AYON_LAUNCHER_STORAGE_DIR is the right one for our situation, where I can install the addons in a central location, and the workstations reference them directly.

How is this different than the workstations updating from the Ayon server?

AYON_LAUNCHER_LOCAL_DIR says it must not be shared, but I’m wondering if this is installed into the admin profile on the machine, can any user logging in use it as well?

we have this one for setting up a shared location for AYON updates Use shared location for AYON launcher and addons which leverages AYON_LAUNCHER_STORAGE_DIR

on the other hand, AYON_LAUNCHER_LOCAL_DIR is related to the cached data per user. as far as I know.
