Bug description:

It hangs indefinitely, trying to load applications and bookmarks.

Steps to reproduce:

Just visiting the homepage you can see the error, but this error actually started occurring after I restored from backup. All of the JSON files and SQLite databases seem to be fine, but somehow Flame is unable to read whatever files it's trying to read, as you can see from the logs:

I've tried everything obvious, no cigar. It's throwing a bunch of ENOENT errors in a loop, but the logs don't even show which files it's trying to read (and failing).

For debugging purposes, here is the filesystem structure within /app/data:

├── assets
│   ├── config.json
│   ├── customQueries.json
│   ├── db_backups
│   │   └── db-201-backup.sqlite
│   ├── db.sqlite
│   └── uploads

And ls -l of the /app directory:

The issue was ""resolved"" after hours (without any action from me), but it is the most curious thing and in either case we need better error messages for this kind of stuff.
