The --tag parameter can currently only set the directory name, and this directory is fixed under .tiup/data. Custom directories are not supported.

We use YAML to deploy, even for testing and single-node setups. The configuration items are convenient and intuitive.

tiup playground is different from real deployment, it is recommended not to use it. Testing with single-node deployment mode is just as convenient, and there are also issues with the official version.

You can customize the installation directory:
export TIUP_HOME=/tidb/tiup
