The image now starts through docker-entrypoint.sh: as root it hands
/data and the backup folder to PUID:PGID (only files owned by someone
else, so restarts stay fast), applies UMASK, and runs Canon as that
user with su-exec. Started with --user, it runs Canon directly. The
image defaults to 1000:1000; the Compose file presets Unraid's 99:100.

Backups are .tar.gz archives of a consistent database snapshot (VACUUM
INTO) plus the images folder. They run on a cron schedule, daily at 3:00
by default, and the newest N scheduled ones are kept (7 by default).
Manual backups are never pruned.
Settings → Backups offers schedule presets or a custom cron expression,
retention, "Back up now", and download/delete for each backup. A small
built-in parser handles standard 5-field cron syntax with names, ranges,
steps and @daily-style shorthands.
Backups go to CANON_BACKUP_DIR (default data/backups). Compose mounts a
separate canon-backups volume at /backups, overridable with
CANON_BACKUP_PATH.

Podium, Spotlight and Grid render smaller on the home page on desktop so
one entry no longer fills the screen; list pages keep full size.
Compose now builds on every deploy (pull_policy: build), stores data in
the canon-data named volume outside the synced folder (CANON_DATA_PATH
overrides), and takes optional bind/port/version settings.
