Is anything ever written to ${stateDir}/webapp? Maybe we should make the permissions on that 0500 to ensure it remains pure? 🤔 if that would work...

What do you think about that?

I really don't know if anything is written there. My guess is no, but given that I'm brand new to NixOS, I figured I'd try a minimal change. ;)

I'm more concerned that it seems that upgrading unifi will redo the symlink (which is good), but not restart the systemd unit, leaving it in a state where the old backend is running, but with upgraded html.

But at least this change makes it so it will start up. I don't know how much of a pain it is, but given that this is broken for new installs of unifi, I'd favor backporting to 19.09.

@utsl42 do you need both and e and a d entry, or is d alone sufficient?

@peterhoeg @M-Gregoire how does this look to you?

The directory needs to exist, and have the right permissions for the unifi unit to start. So I think d is the right one to use. At any rate, after this change, I can reliably uninstall unifi, rm -rf /var/lib/unifi, reinstall, and have it come up. Couldn't do that before.

Thanks for the fix @utsl42 🎉

Awesome, thank you @utsl42 !
