Umbrel re-installs all previous apps

I noticed this behaviour a couple of times now, but until now I was never able to pinpoint what caused it.

Sometimes Umbrel suddenly re-installs every app I ever installed in the previous years. It does not install any apps that were never installed, but it still is annoying.

Today it happened again at exactly the same moment I created a .tar of the Umbrel folder. This should be a readonly operation, but the 'Last-Access' time of some files inside the umbrel directory will be updated. So does Umbrel somehow use this attribute for something? I know that it uses some filesystem watchers for the karen-job, so I would not be surprised.

I can now reproduce this consistently. Even a simple grep on the Umbrel folder, will trigger a restart of all containers and re-install of all old apps. So there must be a file which triggers this bug just when only opened for reading.
