Research direction

Start by reproducing the stated docker run command with wallabag.wallabag:2.5.4 on Alpine 3.17.0 and inspect the image entrypoint and cache-directory setup; no source file or test is named in the report. Done means the container starts without the reported inability to create /var/www/wallabag/var/cache/prod.
