What happened?

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

flatpak run --command=barriers com.github.debauchee.barrier --config /home/derrick/barrierServer.conf

The file is there and it is saved config from the GUI; the GUI works fine I just wanted to start calling it from terminal today so I can launch this on all my machines on boot.

I don't use flatpak but I have a guess as to what is going on here. If I understand flatpak tries to sandbox applications limiting their access to the broader filesystem.

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html

You may have to add a --filesystem=home option to your call.

Report back if you figure out what the fix is for this. If that doesn't work it might inspire me to setup a system using the flatpak to test it out.
