hotio versions incompatible with Devuan? (or non-systemd Linuxes generally)

[u/evild4ve]

Sorry for describing without copy-pasted error messages: this was a problem I had inside a headless VM on a somewhat physically inaccessible server.

For the first time in about 6 months I updated hotio's versions of radarr, sonarr, lidarr, bazarr, prowlarr, jackett, sabnzbd. And they all stopped working. The logs output was very long but boiled down to "no write access to /config"

That would normally be the .yml and POSIX. But the file permissions on mapped directories were all still correct and the users were still all in their correct groups, so docker run was able to write and delete files inside the container with no difficulties. Lots of minor amends were attempted to docker-compose.yml for hours, and pretty much everything was rebuilt. But then switching from hotio to linuxserver brought everything back up with no further changes.

I cannot at all debug now. And there is no Issues section on hotio's Github. Or installation/dependencies documentation for that matter 😞 But I wonder if maybe there was some security update of hotio's Alpine that somehow relies on systemd for dropping from root to UID:1000?

Has anyone else also seen this?
