My /tmp has the noexec flag set, so I have to run the installer as follows:
TMPDIR=<...> bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
Looking at /etc/cron.daily/netdata-updater, would it be better if it remembered the TMPDIR value passed to it during the first installation?
We’ve never actually persisted this bit of configuration. It should not be hard to do so though, and I think it’s probably a good idea.
I’ve created an issue for this at https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/10377, though I will probably not get around to it until mid Janruary (we have a release planned next week, and then I’m off the two weeks after that).
Welcome @therealgilles to our little community. I hope that Thiago and Austin solved your question. If they did, please do mark one of the replies as the solution.
Folks, thanks for answering so promptly 
Hi @OdysLam, thank you for the welcome message.
I think we can track the issue and its resolution through the filed github issue. How do I mark one of the replies as the solution?
Hey, no worries, most people can’t find it the first time.
Click on the 3 bullets on the left of “reply” on the post and then click on “solution”. I think the most appropriate is the post of @Austin_Hemmelgarn, since he mentioned the GitHub issue.
Agreed on the solution post. The problem is I don’t see the 3 bullets on that post. I see this:
What am I missing? Do I need to acquire the right to mark a post as solution?
You are absolutely right, my bad. For some reason I was under the impression that we were discussing in one of our support categories.
This is a feature request, thus there is no need to mark something as solution.
Thanks @therealgilles and do stick around in the Netdata Community
