In the Docker image that is /opt/layerindex, which belongs to root, while the scripts run as the layers user. On a test instance this made the daily RRS update fail within a second every day without updating anything. Separately, on layers.openembedded.org the RRS pages show no upstream status for any milestone from 5.3 M1 onwards (all 0%), and in a copy of its database the latest RecipeUpstreamHistory is from 2024-12-28 and the latest RecipeUpgrade from 2025-06-16, while RecipeMaintainerHistory is current. That may have a different cause; I will add what I find once these scripts run. Fix: when TOOLS_LOG_DIR is not set, only log to the console (which systemd, cron or docker logs collect) instead of writing a file into the current directory. 107459 1 tim.orling 2026-11-15 00:46:32 +0000 Patch 1/6 of the series sent to yocto-patches, under review: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261115003506.53654-1-tim.orling@konsulko.com/
