Clear stale pcscd socket files on container start#38
Merged
Conversation
The pcscd container's socket directory is a persistent podman named volume, so /run/pcscd/pcscd.comm and pcscd.pid survive reboots. pcscd refuses to start when those files exist, fails ten times, and gives up, which knocks out the HSM cache backend and cascades into Infisical outages on every reboot. Wrap the CMD in /bin/sh to rm the stale files before exec'ing pcscd.
