Bare metal install - seems to ignore my config.yaml

[j4nd3r53n]

I am trying to set up InvenTree, following the Bare Metal Setup document, and it seems to go well, until I reach Configure InvenTree Options:

• First, the file /home/inventree/src/InvenTree/config.yaml didn't exist, so I created it and filled it with what I thought was reasonable, based on the config template.
• However, when I run invoke update, it breaks, complaining that values I have set in config.yaml aren't set.

I have already found and read this, and followed the instructions to the best of my understanding, but I still have the problem. It isn't just the ENGINE value - it stopped for INVENTREE_STATIC_ROOT not specified as well as for INVENTREE_BACKUP_DIR and INVENTREE_MEDIA_ROOT - and of course ENGINE.

@j4nd3r53n you have to configure the location where your server expects your configuration file to be.

When the server launches, in the log you should see a clear indication of where it is looking for the configuration file.

I realized that the docs had an error - there was a hard-coded path to the configuration file (as you have used above) which does not necessarily match to where the server is expecting to see this config file. I have just updated the documentation to fix this mistake, should be a bit clearer now.
