How do I setup persistent dot files? eg: have .bashrc or .screenrc survive reboot

Hi,

 

I want to utilize a .bashrc and .screenrc dot file but I am confused on how to set it up so it survives a reboot.  I have seen in the past that the community devs here recommend the user to configure the `/boot/config/go` file but I cannot find any documentation of its use.  I am not even sure how to use it to `source` a dot file.

 

I used to have a similar question in trying to setup ssh and public keys but I used docgyver's excellent ssh Plugin to accomplish this.

Any files that are not Under /mnt will be lost on reboot as the majority of unRAID OS is running from RAM.    If you want them to be available after a reboot you need to put copies on your flash drive and then add entries to the /boot/config/go file to copy them into desired position on a reboot.

Is there a specific /boot sub-dir that is safe/designed for such user created files? Or will anything work as long as I refer to its absolute path in the /boot/config/go file?

Anywhere will be fine.
