Tvhgo fails to start: unable to open database file

[CutterXYZ]

Hi,
I'm using podman on Fedora.

Running the command :

podman run \
    --name tvhgo \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -e 'TVHGO_TVHEADEND_HOST=<tvh_hostname>' \
    -v /var/lib/tvhgo:/tvhgo \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    ghcr.io/davidborzek/tvhgo:latest

Gives the error :

2025-08-29T19:18:05Z INF ../build/cmd/server/server.go:47 > tvhgo started pid=1
2025-08-29T19:18:05Z FTL ../build/cmd/server/server.go:51 > failed to connect to database error="unable to open database file: no such file or directory"

/var/lib/tvhgo is empty. I've placed a watch on this directory but auditctl doesn't report any authorization denial.

I fixed it by setting the /tvhgo directory to chmod 777. The error is a bit bad, it's because it can't write to the disk.
