That comes from db.c:
zHome = getenv("HOME");
...
if( file_isdir(zHome)!=1 ){
fossil_fatal("invalid home directory: %s", zHome);
}
is /root perhaps a symlink to /home/root or some such?

... '/root' is not a symlink and not bound (mount bind) to another location,
just a normal directory.

Try:
fossil help set | grep syml
IIRC (possibly wrongly), there's an option to disable the symlinks support,
which might work aro
That re/pattern couldn't be found ...
fossil help set | grep -ci syml

My guess:
because you're running as root fossil locks itself in a 'chroot' jail. Try
creating a directory 'root' in the directory your repository lives in, and
make sure the owner of the repository can write to that directory. Or you
can set HOME=/ which sets the home directory to the root of
Right on ... that solved it.
Many thanks for the help!
