change behavior of /root mount to be per env about envy HOT 11 OPEN

Just putting my two cents here, but I like the idea of /root being common to all environments. I have my dotfiles, common scripts, etc in there and it "just works" when switching to new environments. Not the end of the world if I have to source my /home/jgallen23/.bashrc though. Or maybe the default /root/.bashrc checks to see if your current user's home directory has a .bashrc and sources? That might be the best way to go

from envy.

Yeah we can do that default.

One other thing to think about is that with a shared /root, I only have to generate an sshkey once, add that to github and then I can clone from any environment without having to mess around with new keys.

from envy.

I don't totally follow. You're generating a private key to use from an envy environment? And you'd rather that be for the root user than your own user.

from envy.

I'm generating ssh key from my jgallen23 envy env so I can clone private repos in all my other envy environments. Is there a better way to handle this?

from envy.

And that ssh key gets stored in /root/.ssh/id_rsa, so if root isn't shared, then the ssh keys won't be the same across envy environments.

from envy.

Yeah. That could be desired but also not impossible to achieve when root isn't shared. But it's a good point from a convenience point of view.

Would love to hear more perspectives on this.

from envy.

I still haven't moved /env to /root/env, however, I did set up a new RC / startup script system that would relatively easily allow you to resolve the SSH key issue.

one other thing to think about is other dotfiles. .gitconfig, .vimrc, .jshintrc, .aws, .npm, etc. I would think all environments for that user should share those things. Are you envisioning those would be manually symlinked with the envyrc too?

from envy.

is /root being unique to each env still the plan for 0.1.0? Looks like with the GO version, it's still shared

from envy.

Yeah, still shared. I'm back and forth about it.
