Found while reworking #2125, unrelated to that PR's change. In the Docker image the entrypoint symlinks `/app/config.json` to the bind-mounted `/app/data/config.json`. `SaveGeoFilter` takes the first path `os.Stat` resolves, so `configPath` stays the symlink, and the tmp+rename then **replaces the link with a regular file inside the container**: - the mounted `config.json` keeps the old `geo_filter`, so the filter the operator just saved appears nowhere on the host; - server and ingestor read the detached file from then on, so the UI keeps showing the new filter and nothing looks wrong; - the next container start reverts it: the entrypoint's `ln -sf` puts the link back, and re-creating the container drops the file anyway. **Fix:** resolve a symlink at `configPath` before the write, so the save lands in the file it points at and the link stays a link. Only a regular file is followed — a link to a device, fifo or directory is left alone and handled as before. This is deliberately the opposite of `writeStatsAtomic` (refs #1170), where replacing a destination symlink is the point because the default stats path can be world-writable `/tmp`. `config.json` is different: the link is one the image itself creates, and the directory is not world-writable. Happy to narrow it further (e.g. only follow a link that stays inside `configDir`) if you'd rather keep the two paths consistent. **Verification:** `TestSaveGeoFilterSymlinkedConfig` fails on master — ``` --- FAIL: TestSaveGeoFilterSymlinkedConfig config_symlink_test.go:47: .../config.json is no longer a symlink (mode -rw-------) — the rename replaced it config_symlink_test.go:60: geo_filter missing from .../data/config.json: {"port":3000,"_comment":"keep me"} ``` — and passes here. `TestSaveGeoFilterKeepsOwner` covers keeping the file's owner, and `TestSaveGeoFilterFifoSymlinkTarget` checks that only regular files are followed. `go test ./...` in `cmd/server` passes. **Single-file mounts:** when `config.json` is mounted as a single file, the save now fails with 500 (`EBUSY`) instead of writing a copy that the next start discards. Our own instance has no geo filter configured, which is why this went unnoticed there; its `/app/config.json` is still a symlink. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
