configuring home directory |need help|

[Cruising0904]

I tested it months before failed it and now I am trying to get it to work. But setting up directory I am not following it keeps making opposite from how I wanted. When I call telekasten to make a new note it makes directory "wiki" relative path (home = "wiki"), at home directory it just makes zettelekasten directory. However I would like to manage all my md files in .dotfiles/wiki directory like I did using vimwiki.
Is it possible to custom root directory? or is it just a bug or I am just trolling..

What you want is something like that in your init.lua:

 -- Zettelkasten directory
  local home = vim.fn.expand("~/.dotfiles/wiki")
  local journal = home .. "/journal"

  require("telekasten").setup({
    -- Define directories
    home = home,
    dailies = journal .. "/daily",
    weeklies = journal .. "/weekly",
    templates = home .. "/templates",
    image_subdir = home .. "/img",
  })

The line local home = vim.fn.expand("~/.dotfiles/wiki") is where you define your actual wiki home. As you see, all other options are just subdirectory of that root dir.

See the help within nvim for more details about the different options :h Telekasten. The wiki on github is not really maintained at the moment.
