Yes, the canary releases contain the latest (and possibly unstable) changes.

Thanks for the clarification and maintaining this package.

Sorry, I mixed up experimental and canary. I meant I'll continue tracking the canary channel. If I remember correctly, this is the latest version, and both experimental and beta channels are based on the canary releases?

Thanks for keeping an eye out on this AUR package @warwickmm :)

I think this package has been tracking the canary channel. Are you saying you're going to switch to tracking the experimental channel instead?

I unflagged this package as out-of-date. I've decided to keep to the experimental channel, as this package is marked -latest (it should really changed to -experimental to reflect the channel, but historically it's been -latest, so...).

Beta channel updates are usually roll-ups of most previous experimental releases anyway.

So unless one of the maintainers disagrees with this, I'll keep to experimental releases for this AUR package.

Thanks for the bug report!

I've tried a new solution with tmpfiles.d, hopefully that works...

I'm seeing the following error on a fresh install:

...skipping...

Running sudo chown --recursive duplicati: /var/lib/duplicati/ after the install solved the issue.

Well, I reverted my initial changes and added back the directory creation in the install script. It seems I severly misunderstood the sysusers hook.

I had the same issue as jmonreal when installing duplicati-latest for the first time.

The directory seemed to be missing. Manually creating the directory and chown-ing to duplicati seems to have fixed the service for me:

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/duplicati/
$ sudo chown duplicati /var/lib/duplicati

Was that on a fresh install?

I'll push a change, but I thought that sysusers.d would properly handle the permissions on /var/lib/duplicati...

Installed duplicati-latest. Running sudo systemctl start duplicati && sudo systemctl status duplicati

Error message: Access to the path '/var/lib/duplicati/.config/Duplicati' is denied.
