Welcome to the forum @johnbot1, and thanks for bumping this request as well as providing details about your cluster and installation. Sharing a single installation by multiple CryoSPARC instances (and system users) is not something we have implemented official support for yet but we certainly see the utility and may include some changes to facilitate this in a future release.
We are aware, in part due to posts by CryoSPARC’s awesome users and local admins on this forum, of some ideas that might already make your life a little easier (and may be combined):
- CryoSPARC in a container, for example with docker (search, link)
- infrastructure-as-code, for example with ansible
- potentially the simplest solution, patching files to allow setting an environment variable for an alternative log directory path for each instance in a shared setting
