Zoph on Trixie. Opening the app management page fails with an error.

If you run /usr/bin/zoph as root it will fail with the message root is not a valid user and exit with a value of 96. This is the first line of the error message. You can duplicate this in the shell with sudo zoph --dump-config

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have Trixie
  2. Install Zoph
  3. Click "Setup" and define the zoph admin user as a FreedomBox user with admin privileges
  4. Configure Zoph and import a picture.
  5. Go to the Apps page on FreedomBox and click the Zoph tile

Error:
