Hi Benoit, Good suggestion, (and I might be missing something obvious), but I am using an absolute path.
/data exists under the root filesystem This is the way I have set up GeoServer before so I can easily upgrade. Maybe something has changed between Ubuntu 18 & 19 I am about to do a clean install of Ubuntu 18 so will ley the list know.
