So does my website folder go under /var/www, /srv/www, or /home/www-data/www ?

All of the above. mount --bind and never guess again!
I put mine in /sbn
Well I put mine in /opt !
Depends on what you specify in the config.
/sbn
Ah yes, and usr/bin, and usr/sbin, of course
And /usr/local/sbin of course
Pretty outdated. /run/media is used by udisksctl to mount stuff that the user actually has access to.
What’s diff between device files vs config files vs variable files?
/dev is for device files, ie special files that let you communicate directly with a physical piece of hardware
/etc is for configuration files, ie the comments tell how to setup a device or application
/var is for variable files, ie files who's content is regularly changing, the primary example is logs, but there are a lot of other files that land in /var (some are moving to /run, though)
Two important things under /var are /var/spool for printing and /var/mail
Why etc and not cfg?
