I've built psst in a docker container, and I can start the psst-gui app just fine:

user@nixos:/app/psst/psst-gui$ cargo run

     Running `/app/psst/target/debug/psst-gui`

However, when I am on the Preferences screen, and I click save, the application panics:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create config dir: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }', psst-gui/src/data/config.rs:120:35
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Why can't it create the config dir? Where is it trying to create this dir?

On Linux it uses ~/.config/ as the base, I guess it's missing on your system?

That was it! I had to create a $HOME/.config folder for my user. Thanks @jpochyla!
