Configuration not durable

[jmayday]

After I restarted my Raspberry, HiFiBerry stopped working. Well, it was working but not pushing any output to my target device. I have impression that "audio output" setting has been lost.

I tried that script but it didn't even list any audio outputs:

# ./select-playback-device

Found output devices...

Choose your output Device (0-9): 0

Playback device is set to:
# ./install_hifiberry.sh

I had to run install_hifiberry.sh script in order to fix the problem:

# ./install_hifiberry.sh

Could you please advise how to make whole configuration durable?

[TonyTromp]

Typically it should survive reboots without any issue, so this is definitely odd behaviour .
If you run the ./install_hifiberry.sh script it should ensure that Tidal docker image is restarted after reboot.

[jmayday]

Well, yes this is what I would expect that it survives reboots. Running ./install_hifiberry.sh did solve the problem (as visible on console output in my previous post) but running it every time config is lost would be somehow problematic. Is there a way to troubleshoot it when issue occurs again?
