Trying to run the installer in Oracle Cloud Free Tier, came across this issue. Attached logs below, it seems like creating the ~/config/traefik/logs directory was missed in the install script.

The second issue is that the gerbil container fails with the following:
FATAL: 2025/09/07 15:05:05 Failed to save private key: open /var/config/key: permission denied

Should I should be running podman-compose as root?
