Access to the path '/librum_storage' is denied. Prevents login.

[tenekev]

I'm using Docker to deploy Librum server. I'm using the latest windows client on Win11. The latest version introduces this error. I'm assuming the /librum_storage path is the one defined in the docker-compose.yml

    volumes:
      - librum:/var/lib/librum-server/librum_storage

I checked the container, the folder is there, the permissions are correct. This error appears only when a client tries to connect to the server and ultimately fails with a generic fail message.

Server log:

The server expects the storage at /librum-storage and not at /var/lib/librum-server/librum_storage as confirgured in the docker-compose.yaml.

So changing the volume to:

 volumes:
      - librum:/librum_storage

solves this issue for me.

The problem is dotnet tries to resolve app home directory, when it fails, it will look for /librum_storage in root, i'll make a fix.

Please confirm that #23 fixed this issue.

I can confirm it fixed the issue for me. Thanks you.
