Description

By default, dockge uses /opt/stacks to store stack data, wich may go against the Linux FHS

The actual interpretation of what/opt should be used for is somewhat flexible - for example, Unraid uses /opt/appdata to store application data, which could be considered against the FHS. Since dockge is in early development, I brought it up now so that it would be on the project radar and less painful if the switch needs to be made.

Note: I consider this serious enough to be considered a bug, not a feature request - the software is behaving in an unexpected fashion.
