Ahhh OK!

I am not suggesting Tails users should use Ansible... I am only suggesting that Ansible can help us to automate things as part of the development and testing phase. Obviously the final user facing solution should not involve Ansible at all. I created the symlink in the Tails dotfiles directory for the ".tahoe" configuration directory symlink in the user home dir like this: https://github.com/david415/ansible-tahoe-lafs/blob/tails/tasks/configure.yml#L85-L95 The Ansible playbook for this is here: https://github.com/david415/ansible-tahoe-lafs/blob/tails/playbook-examples/tails_oniongrid_client.yml This "Tails onion-grid client" playbook specifies ALL the information needed... and in particular that the Tahoe source be built here: /home/amnesia/Persistent/tahoe-base/tahoe-lafs-src ...and the configuration directory installed here: /home/amnesia/Persistent/tahoe-base/tahoe_client You can easily follow this procedure for using this ansible role to make your Tails system be a client to the onion grid: https://gist.github.com/david415/da33d2a9f7090faf2a80 However only steps 1 through 5 are necessary... The rest of the steps are for testing... to make sure everything works between Tails reboots. I do not know how Tails is supposed to persist software installed via debian packages... but here in this example the software and configuration directory are installed on the persistent volume... so it works after reboots.
