SYSTEM_001 — System Homedir

What This Means

Syllago could not determine the user’s home directory, which is needed for locating configuration and content files.

Common Causes

• The HOME environment variable is not set
• Running under an unusual OS configuration or containerized environment without a home directory
• Running as a system user without a home directory assigned

How to Fix

1. Set the HOME environment variable: export HOME=/home/youruser
2. Run syllago from a standard user account that has a home directory
3. In containers, ensure the HOME variable is set in the Dockerfile or entrypoint

Example Output

Error SYSTEM_001: cannot determine home directory
  Suggestion: set the HOME environment variable, or run from a standard user account
