Description

Describe the bug

When installing OONI Probe CLI on Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the configuration file is located at /etc/ooniprobe/ooniprobe.conf, not at ~/.ooniprobe/config.json, as stated in the User Guide. Also, it is not clear which user is actually expected to own the file (where is ~ if no user is specified?).

To Reproduce

Install OONI Probe CLI on Debian/Ubuntu Linux. When the ooniprobe-cli service is triggered, the command points to /etc/ooniprobe/ooniprobe.conf using the –config= parameter.

Expected behavior

According to the User Guide, the location should be ~/.ooniprobe/config.json.

System information (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Server
  • OS: Debian 11
  • OONI Probe version: 3.13.0
