Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH manager v2] pveproxy: create log directory when starting
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 11:18:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250416091829.124366-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)

We only create this directory while installing or upgrading the package.

If a user deletes /var/log then they will lose access to the web UI
until they either reinstall or upgrade pve-manager.

Signed-off-by: Maximiliano Sandoval <m.sandoval@proxmox.com>

Differences from v1:

- Unconditionally call mkdir+chown if root
- Improve commit message to reflect this can be fixed by a reinstall
