Howdy,

So I might be doing things you havent planned for - but I want to check.

I'm setting up talisman to work in docker.

When I compile, I have all the binaries going into /talisman/bin.

I have all the "configuration" files go into /talisman/data, eg: /talisman/data/gfiles, /talisman/data/menus, etc.

talisman.ini is in /talisman, which is the current directory when I start servo (ie: I start servo as "bin/servo").

servo starts with an error, but accepts a telnet connection.

"2024/04/18 00:55:36: EventManager: Error loading event manager config"

I see from strace that it then launches "talisman", but since that isnt in the current directory it failes. (PATH does have /talisman/bin). So I soft link /talisman/bin/talisman to /talisman/talisman.

My talisman ini files has

gfiles path = data/gfiles
data path = data/data
....

(I even tried with /talisman/data/gfiles), but upon connection (after ANSI detected) talisman core dumps. If I softlink /talisman/data/gfiles to /talisman/gfiles (the current directory of the talisman process), it seems to work. IE: It doesnt seem to honour the "path" settings?

No biggie, I can softlink my way around this - but thought I'd share in case it shouldnt be this way...
