I've been looking at roundcube for a system-wide installation on a hosting environment. These systems run cPanel, for managing hosting (virtual hosts, web/email/ftp/etc).

On such systems, each hosted account/domain has a /home/user directory were all account related files exist and owned by the user. The only exception is the MySQL database which has a system-wide storage for all domains under /var.

Looking at roundcube, the storage for per-user details is the user table in the database. Which means that per-user data are not counted against the users disk quota.

Is there a way to make roundcube store per-user data within the /home directories?

Thank you.

You can create your database in /home.. you don't need to create it in /var
