Folders /home/pi gets lost after reboot - muddiver - 08-14-2024
Hello forum,
i created an folder in /home, named /home/pi
In this folder i have my scripts to change to set the behavior of my remotecontrole-buttons.
In the media.conf i entered the scripts in the folder /home/pi.
Everything was working as it should, now i returned from hollydays and the buttons do nothing.
The folder /home/pi is gone.
i recreated it vir "sudo mkdir /home/pi"
then i changed the writepermissions via "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/pi"
so i can write files via scp command.
Then i sent the files from my Main-PC to the Moode-Device.
Anything works great again.
After a reboot, the folder /home/pi is again gone...
Has there been a change in permissions?
Why is the folder deleted after every reboot?
Thanks in advance! Greets, Tom

I tried to move the scripts to my personal folder under /home, then i changed the media.conf to the new path, works now even after a reboot..
Change in general behavion in the /home path?

Yes if /home/pi exists and there is no pi userid/password the directory gets deleted during moode startup.
This is to ensure that there is only one legit home directory and corresponding userid/password. This is important for things that run in the context of the logged in user for example the Local Display service.
The /home directory should only contain userid subdirectories corresponding to logon id's
In your case you might want to place your files in your actual home directory or in /usr/share/DIRECTORY_NAME and then update media.conf accordingly.
