No idea what you were doing then... generally, at least for a long 
while, the system presumes you are in /sbbs/repo (had a different name 
before repo when it was svn, but effectively the same) and installed in 
to /sbbs/* ...

I've literally run through the installer (containerized) dozens to 
hundreds of times and never seen it mess with any permissions outside 
that path. (or whatever you set the make prefix to if you override it).

Pretty sure DM has done it way more times than I have.

If you have some understanding of docker, and ever want to try it again 
(though it's less than ideal for containerization), it's been running 
pretty good for me.

No idea who else is actually running it, but it has been pulled from 
dockerhub ~10k times.  Maybe 50 of those are me updating.
