 ## 2.6-dev-3 (2026-06-16)
 - Fix fresh-install startup by making the persistent `/data/static` and `/data/media` directories writable by the `wger` user without recursively changing all of `/data`.
+- Preserve existing persistent data by reusing `/data/database.sqlite` when present, and migrating a legacy `/home/wger/db/database.sqlite` only if no persistent database exists yet.
 - Make nginx startup idempotent and fail loudly if its configuration is invalid, instead of masking nginx startup errors that can leave the add-on web port closed.
