[Pianod] Home directory not accessible: Permission denied

[Perette Barella]

It looks like on Arch Linux, it’s usually /root
You could just use that, or if you don’t want to open up permissions on root’s home, you could use /
You could use /nobody (optionally assign ownership of the directory and files to ‘nobody’ too)
