Service and certs get deleted after restart or shutdown (Paper Pro) #322

Closed jdk-21 closed 1 month ago

jdk-21 commented 1 month ago

I wanted to try out this project for my new Paper Pro. I followed the documentation to setup and I only had to build the proxy myself due to the arm64 architecture. The syncing worked pretty well until I rebooted the device. After that the service was gone and my cert for the reverse proxy too. It seems that the remarkable has a cleanup job that deletes everything that isn't from remarkable itself (outside of /home/root). Is this the same on the remarkable 2?

This probably should be on the proxy repository and not here.

No the rM1/2 do not do this.

I think I found the root cause. It's because /etc is mounted as an overlay filesystem.

# mount | grep /etc
overlay on /etc type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/etc,upperdir=/var/volatile/etc,workdir=/var/volatile/.etc-work)
/dev/mapper/home-encrypted-disk on /etc/dropbear type ext4 (rw,relatime)
overlay on /mnt/lowerdir type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/etc,upperdir=/var/volatile/etc,workdir=/var/volatile/.etc-work)

But I don't know how one would bypass this. I will open an issue on the prox repo.
