I am a developer from China and am not very familiar with English, so the following content is translated through Google Translate.

When I successfully flash the image file of the built system onto the development board, the system seems to delete the directory under /home upon the first boot (from my observation).

The build command being used ：./compile.sh build BOARD=firefly-rk3399 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=focal 

This is an excerpt from customize-image.sh.

Main() {
	case $RELEASE in
		stretch)
			# your code here
			# InstallOpenMediaVault # uncomment to get an OMV 4 image
			;;
		buster)
			# your code here
			;;
		bullseye)
			# your code here
			;;
		bionic)
			# your code here
			;;
		focal)
			# your code here
			echo "12345678"
			cjia_xxx
			;;
	esac

} # Main


cjia_xxx()
{

		  rm /root/.not_logged_in_yet
        username=cjia
        pass=cjia

        # Check if user already exists.
        grep -q "$username" /etc/passwd
        if [ $? -eq $SUCCESS ] 
        then	
            echo "User $username does already exist."
            echo "please chose another username."
            exit $E_USEREXISTS
        fi

        #Allow no one else to access the home directory of the user
