Changing application configuration, caches, plugins directories
~/.config/JetBrains/Fleet
~/Library/Application Support/Jetbrains/Fleet
~\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\Fleet
Default caches directory location:
Unix:
~/.cache/JetBrains/Fleet
Mac:
~/Library/Caches/JetBrains/Fleet
~\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Fleet
Default plugins directory location:
<config_path>/pluginStorage
<config_path>/plugins
Changing Fleet config and caches directories via properties file:
System properties for Fleet might be set in three additional places: ~/fleet.properties, <caches_dir>/fleet.properties, <FLEET_PROPERTIES_FILE>
where
-
<caches_dir>is~/Library/Caches/JetBrains/Fleeton mac,~/.cache/JetBrains/Fleet/on linux and%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Fleet\on windows. -
<FLEET_PROPERTIES_FILE>– an environment variable, it may point to any properties-file on disk
All system properties defined in those files are merged. If there are multiple values for a property – the latter wins.
To define new directory locations for Fleet configuration, caches and plugins, in the fleet.properties file specify the following properties:
fleet.config.path property for the configuration path
fleet.caches.path property for the caches path, e.g:
fleet.config.path=<custom_path>fleet.caches.path=<custom_path>
Changing via properties file from Fleet:
1. Enable internal mode for Fleet: add "internalMode": true, into Fleet settings.json file
2. Invoke Goto | Actions... popup and invoke Open FleetCfg action:
3. In the Fleet.cfg file specify the
fleet.config.path system property for the configuration path
fleet.caches.path system property for the caches path, e.g:
java-options=-Dfleet.config.path=<custom_path>java-options=-Dfleet.caches.path=<custom_path>
4. Restart.
Note that properties in FleetCfg file are processes in the first place. If the same property is specified in thefleet.properties file, the property from FleetCfg file will be overwritten.

Thanks for this article,it's helpful for setting these entries manually.Will Fleet has any way to setting/override these config entries like vscode cli(eg. "--user-data-dir <custom path to user profile>,--extension-dir <custom path to extensions>")?
