Hi,

I'm attempting to run both the director and the backend under the same configuration on the same server. When I run doveadm director map I don't get any output. I have a shared file system between servers and clients can access any server. I was running without a director in front and seeing index corruption so I'm now attempting to use a director. I enabled additional logging for now but that didn't explain much.

Dovecot version: 2.3.20 (80a5ac675d) on Alpine Linux v3.18.2

Dovecot configuration (doveconf -n) with some bits removed.
