What happened?

I've installed ABS, following the guide for Debian on a Debian 12 system.
The service won't start and the syslog-messages shows the logs (posted under logs)

OS: Debian 12 (6.1.90-1)

What did you expect to happen?

The service should be up and running after the installation or at least by starting it manually (systemctl restart audiobookshelf.service)

Steps to reproduce the issue

Fresh install following the guide for Linux/Debian
Try to start the service (systemctl restart audiobookshelf.service)

Audiobookshelf version

v2.11.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Additional Notes

I found this line in the logs "Error: /tmp/pkg/1f8cc72dfb50f0c54b04dd7a709ef5ef89b2b1f3b063270646bd12c81173b2e8/sqlite3/lib/binding/napi-v6-linux-glibc-x64/node_sqlite3.node". This path/file exists.

I did a fresh/clean install on another Debian 12 VM and played around with the /tmp mount settings.
It seems, that using "noexec" as mount-option breaks the thing.
This way doesn't work:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777,size=1G 0 0
This one does:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777,size=1G 0 0

My /tmp (on the prod-server) is mounted with "nosuid,nodev,noexec"

Would it be possible to use another folder as temp-directory for the application? Maybe it could be specified in some config-file
