Description

When running Pulp on openshift, there isn't an option for a RWX volume in many cases. For example a Pulp user can't deploy Pulp across Pods: https://github.com/ansible/galaxy/issues/1502

It should be possible to use Pulp without /var/lib/pulp. Currently we have hard coded defaults that use /var/lib/pulp. The goal of this story is to remove those hard coded values and replace them with a config setting.

There should be safeguards against changing this after installation and artifacts are stored.

I believe it's common for a user to remount the same data at another location. Having a note in the docs that backup and restore operations are only safe when Pulp is off I think would be a good docs note. there may be a better way of saying that somehow.
