Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the supplied docker-compose configuration on Alpine and inspect the wallabag container startup output around the rm command. Compare the container's cache path and filesystem behavior with the image's startup process; done means the container starts successfully without the Invalid argument error while preserving the reported MariaDB setup.
