The matrix drops privileges from
roottodaemonafter it starts up. This is causing all kinds of issues where thedaemonuser seemingly doesn't have read permissions on a lot of different files. It's also recommended to use absolute paths (fixed in #519 already)Main symptom this works around is not being able to find a cert from
certifiin the new virtual environment, causing the scoreboard to crash on startupI tried tweaking permissions on
venv/*but did not seem to have an effect. It's likely still a pathing issue that would be difficult to work around.Others are noting similar issues in Pi OS Bookworm so we don't seem to be alone here.
