Subject: [PATCH] vm/app/systemd-sysupdate: fix mounting overlay
Date: Mon,  8 Dec 2025 16:47:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208154738.300709-1-hi@alyssa.is> (raw)

This assumed it would be run as root, so has been broken since we
stopped running application scripts as root inside img/app VMs.

Reported-by: Johannes Süllner <johannes.suellner@mailbox.org>

Fixes: 8bfcbf9 ("img/app: run applications as non-root")
