What is the /opt directory?
I've seen a lot of self-hosted software wanting to store their data in /opt, is there any reason why?

"Traditionally, the /opt directory is used for installing/storing the files of third-party applications that are not available from the distribution’s repository.
The normal practice is to keep the software code in opt and then link the binary file in the /bin directory so that all the users can run it."
