The current version (0.9.2) does not yet allow users to have their own config. All config is stored in /etc/auctiongallery and all templates go to /usr/share/auctiongallery/templates. All auction pictures and descriptions go to /home/auctiongallery.
I can make a new version and add features that allow users to have their own settings, like ~/auctiongallery/auctiongallery.conf, ~/auctiongallery/templates and ~/auctiongallery/auctions. However that kind of defeats the purpose of my software because it is aimed at eBay powersellers who have many employees. The way I have auctiongallery set up at my work is the following. All auction descriptions and pictures go to a common directory /home/auctiongallery. All users have the same config and the same templates unless they run auctiongallery with -c and -t overrides. That way all employees are part of one team and everything works nicely.
