Cron change directory error preventing start

Behaviour

Steps to reproduce this issue

Try starting the stack by running docker-compose up -d
Tail the logs and notice cron errors
Nextcloud will not start

Expected behaviour

Nextcloud should start as normal.

Actual behaviour

containers exit with various exit codes

Configuration

Docker version (type docker --version) : 23.0.1
Docker compose version if applicable (type docker-compose --version) : 2.16.0
Platform (Debian 9, Ubuntu 18.04, ...) : Debian LXC
System info (type uname -a) :
Include all necessary configuration files : docker-compose, .env, nextcloud.env all copied direct from examples.

I should not that the stack had been running correctly for months without issue. This was new after a reboot.

Container logs (set LOG_LEVEL to debug if applicable)

I can't repro on my side. This folder is created on startup:

docker-nextcloud/rootfs/etc/cont-init.d/05-svc-cron.sh

Line 18 in 5f70a17

mkdir -m 0644 -p ${CRONTAB_PATH}

So not sure how it happens.

Would need repro to help if you still have this issue (compose file).
