Procedure to disable the automatic creation of the STEPPATH #223

Open

Description

Description

Caddy is using the step certificates authority, but the use of it initializes the STEPPATH, creating the ~/.step directory automatically.

We should have a way to disable this side effect, perhaps only initializing the STEPPATH if one of the methods in github.com/smallstep/cli/config is being used.

    Just want to follow up, is this resolved? It'd be nice if we can get this tidied up before Caddy's release candidate in a week or two so we aren't making empty folders on people's systems. 👍

    But now that certificates do not depend on the cli it shouldn't be difficult to fix

    Oooo, that's awesome! So you finally got rid of the circular dependency? That should make a lot of things easier. 💯
