Code added to deck in #13323 assumes that
--cookie-secret-file
is either set to a file that exists or not set at all. This is not the case - the default is/etc/cookie/secret
, but unless you set a different flag nothing ever checked that it existed until now. The result is deck crashing on startup trying to read a file that doesn't exist.This PR removes the default. However, for backwards compatibility, if it is not set, and the flag depending on it is set, and a file exists at the old default location, we use the default, emit an error message, and continue silently.
