• Server OS (Operating System) - preferably Debian 12: Debian 12
• On which OS you run cmdeploy: nixos
• chatmail/relay version: 6e28cf9ca1622fc603487fd389b68baa2b8e8ac8

Expected behavior

The script was supposed not to crash

Actual behavior

It crashed with this traceback:

--> Disconnecting from hosts...

You can try out the relay by talking to this echo bot:
cat: /var/lib/echobot/invite-link.txt: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. scripts/cmdeploy run pointed to a fresh installed VM

Solution

1. mkdir /var/lib/echobot that was missing on the server
2. now scripts/cmdeploy run works as expected

This should have been fixed with #642 - can you git pull --rebase --autostash and try scripts/cmdeploy run again?

Ah, you already worked around it.
