IA Diagnostic:

Look at the ls160 → ls161 changelog:

LinuxServer Changes: Rebase to 3.24 by @thespad in #78

The app itself didn't change (both are speedtest-tracker v1.14.5). The only difference between the working build and the broken one is the base image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/baseimage-alpine-nginx:3.22 → 3.24.
This lines up perfectly with what you showed me earlier:

Your broken Dockerfile (ls161): FROM ghcr.io/linuxserver/baseimage-alpine-nginx:3.24 and installs php85-* packages
Your working package list (ls160): shows alpine-release 3.22.4-r0 and php84-pdo_sqlite, php84-fpm, etc.

So the rebase to Alpine 3.24 pulled in PHP 8.5 as the default/available PHP package set, replacing PHP 8.4 — and that's what's breaking SQLite cache access on scheduler runs. This is very likely a known regression in the LSIO image, not something wrong with your setup. Alpine 3.24 is brand new and PHP 8.5 packaging in Alpine has had rough edges (differences in default php-fpm pool config, open_basedir, or how pdo_sqlite gets loaded).

[lsaranto]

Workaround that doesn't require rolling back to ls160:

Explicitly set DB_DATABASE to the actual sqlite path instead of leaving it blank:

DB_DATABASE=/config/database.sqlite

Root cause as far as I can tell: config/database.php resolves the sqlite path via env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')). Laravel's env() only falls back to the default when the variable is truly unset — if it's present but empty (which is exactly what happens when DB_DATABASE= is declared blank, e.g. via the Unraid template's optional postgres/mysql fields), it returns the empty string instead of the default. That's been the case for years and normally doesn't matter, but something in the PHP 8.4 → 8.5 jump in this rebase (Alpine 3.22 → 3.24) changed how PDO/pdo_sqlite handles being handed an empty filename — on 8.4 it apparently tolerated it, on 8.5 it throws SQLSTATE[HY000] [14] unable to open database file.

Setting DB_DATABASE explicitly sidesteps the whole issue regardless of which PHP version ends up in the image, since the value is never empty. Confirmed working on v1.14.5-ls161 (PHP 8.5.8) without needing to downgrade.

(Diagnosed with help from an AI assistant, verified against my own container's logs and config.)

Works fine:

-e 'DB_DATABASE'='/config/database.sqlite'
