Maybe I should explain what I'm doing and where my last two issues came from as well.[1]
I'm trying to run NiFi in an environment where the tarball is extracted (as downloaded from Apache) but I don't have write access to that directory at all. So _all_ files NiFi writes need to go into another directory. Meaning I have to point bootstrap.conf somewhere else, PID dir, Log dir, Content repository, Provenance repository, NAR work dir etc. - this means I cannot overwrite nivi-env.sh as it's being picked up from wherever nifi.sh lives. Maybe I'm missing something but that doesn't seem super trivial. Any hints are highly appreciated.
