📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I had Actual Budget installed and with a new update, I decided to use the update command inside the LXC container to have the latest features available.

By doing that I got an error that is better described by the picture further below.

I went throug the same routine a couple of months ago, without any issues then. But we have this issue now.

⚙️ What settings are you using?

• Default Settings
• Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Step 1: Install an instance of Actual Budget LXC

Step 2: Login into the LXC and use the update command

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

 ⠧mv: target '/opt/actualbudget/': No such file or directory

[ERROR] in line 48: exit code 0: while executing command mv actualbudget-actual-server-*/* /opt/actualbudget/

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

I was able to recover by doing the following:

Step 1: Login into the Actual Budget LXC
Step 2: Go to /opt directory
Step 3: Copy the actualbudget_bak directory with: cp -R /opt/actualbudget_bak/ /opt/actualbudget/
Step 4: Modify the file /usr/bin/update as the following:

#bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/actualbudget.sh)"
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/actualbudget.sh)"

Step 5: Use update command again.

This will cause the Actual Budget instance to be updated with tteck's original script, which does not present issues.

What worked for me is to ignore the update script altogether and just run git pull and then yarn install inside of the /opt/actualbudget directory

This commit added a mv command which moves /opt/actualbudget to /opt/actualbudget_bak but after that another mv command tries to move to /opt/actualbudget/ but this dir does not exists. Maybe we just need to cp /opt/actualbudget to /opt/actualbudget_bak. CC @MickLesk
