Fix persistent storage directory accessibility

- Improve directory writeability test in CLI interface
- Test actual /var/lib/ddns-updater directory instead of creating test directory
- Add proper Unix permissions checking with detailed error messages
- Fix Debian postinst script permissions (755 instead of 750)
- Change ownership to root:root for storage directory
- Add verbose logging for storage directory selection
- Include release documentation for v1.2.2

This fixes the 'Cannot access /var/lib/ddns-updater' error by properly testing
the actual directory and setting correct permissions during package installation.

# 🚀 Release v1.2.2: Persistent Storage Enforcement
## 📅 Release Information
- **Version**: 1.2.2
- **Release Date**: October 3, 2025
- **Package**: `ddns-updater_1.2.2-1_amd64.deb` (2.0 MB)
- **GitHub Tag**: `v1.2.2`
## 🎯 Key Improvements
### 🔧 Persistent Storage Enforcement
- **Removed `/tmp/ddns-updater` fallback** - ensures complete data persistence
- **Application now only uses `/var/lib/ddns-updater`** for JSON storage
- **Clear error messages** when persistent storage is unavailable
- **Eliminates data loss** from temporary directory cleanup
### 🛠️ Enhanced Installation
- **Automatic directory creation** in installation script
- **Proper permissions setup** (755, root:root)
- **No manual setup required** for storage directory
- **Systemd service files updated** to enforce persistent storage only
### 📚 Comprehensive Documentation
- **Added `PERSISTENT_STORAGE.md`** - complete storage configuration guide
- **Troubleshooting instructions** for storage accessibility issues
- **Migration guide** for existing installations
- **Clear directory structure explanation**
## 🏗️ Technical Changes
### Modified Files:
1. **`src/interface/cli_interface.rs`**
- Removed `/tmp/ddns-updater` fallback logic
- Added graceful error handling with instructions
- Clear exit with helpful error messages
2. **`systemd/ddns-updater.service`**
- Removed `/tmp/ddns-updater` from `ReadWritePaths`
- Service restricted to persistent storage only
3. **`systemd/ddns-updater@.service`**
- Removed `/tmp/ddns-updater` from `ReadWritePaths`
- Template service also enforces persistent storage
4. **`systemd/install-systemd.sh`**
- Added automatic `/var/lib/ddns-updater` creation
- Proper ownership and permissions setup
- Eliminates manual directory setup
## 📁 Storage Structure
### Production Environment
```
/var/lib/ddns-updater/ # Persistent storage directory
├── hostname1.json # IP data for hostname1
├── hostname2.json # IP data for hostname2
└── ... # Additional hostname files
```
### Test Environment
```
./test_storage/ # Local test directory (DDNS_TEST_MODE=1)
├── hostname1.json # Test IP data
└── ... # Additional test files
```
## ✅ Benefits
1. **Data Persistence**: IP data survives reboots and system maintenance
2. **Predictable Behavior**: Service always uses the same storage location
3. **Better Error Handling**: Clear error messages when storage unavailable
4. **Security**: No reliance on world-writable temporary directories
5. **Standards Compliance**: Follows Linux filesystem hierarchy standards
6. **Automated Setup**: Installation script handles all directory creation
## 🔄 Migration Guide
### For Existing Installations:
1. **Using Installation Script** (Recommended):
```bash
sudo ./systemd/install-systemd.sh
```
2. **Manual Setup**:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/ddns-updater
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/ddns-updater
sudo chown root:root /var/lib/ddns-updater
```
3. **Copy Existing Data** (if any):
```bash
sudo cp /tmp/ddns-updater/*.json /var/lib/ddns-updater/ 2>/dev/null || true
```
## 🛠️ Installation Options
### 1. Debian Package (Recommended)
```bash
# Download from GitHub Releases
sudo apt install ./ddns-updater_1.2.2-1_amd64.deb
```
### 2. Systemd Installation Script
```bash
git clone https://github.com/koenieee/ddns_local_server.git
cd ddns_local_server
cargo build --release
sudo ./systemd/install-systemd.sh
```
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### Error: "Cannot access /var/lib/ddns-updater"
1. Check directory exists: `ls -la /var/lib/ddns-updater`
2. Create if missing: `sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/ddns-updater`
3. Set permissions: `sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/ddns-updater`
4. Set ownership: `sudo chown root:root /var/lib/ddns-updater`
### Service Fails to Start
1. Check logs: `journalctl -u ddns-updater.service`
2. Verify directory permissions
3. Ensure service has write access to storage directory
## 🧪 Testing
-**All 25 unit tests passing**
-**All 6 integration tests passing**
-**Cargo fmt/clippy clean**
-**Debian package builds successfully**
-**Systemd service files validated**
