Failing to get Mercure Hub up and running in Platform.sh

I have the following applications.yaml configured in a Symfony app,

```
api:
 type: php:8.1
 runtime:
     extensions:
         - apcu
         - mbstring
         - sodium
         - ctype
         - iconv
         - pdo_pgsql

 # Relationships enable an app container's access to a service.
 relationships:
     database: "database:postgresql"
     mercure: "mercure:http"

 build:
     flavor: none

 disk: 512

 web:
     locations:
         '/':
             root: "public"
             expires: 1h
             passthru: "/index.php"
             headers:
                 Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
 mounts:
     '/var': { source: local, source_path: var }
     
 hooks:
     build: |
         set -x -e
         curl -fs https://get.symfony.com/cloud/configurator | bash
         
         NODE_VERSION=18 symfony-build
         
     deploy: |
         set -x -e
         
         symfony-deploy

mercure:
 type: golang:1.22
 build:
     flavor: 'none'
 disk: 1024
 variables:
   env:
     MERCUREVERSION: v0.16.2
     MERCURE_TRANSPORT_URL: 'bolt://database/mercure.db'
     MERCURE_PUBLISHER_JWT_KEY: '!ChangeThisMercureHubJWTSecretKey!'
     # MERCURE_PUBLISHER_JWT_ALG: 'HS256'
     MERCURE_SUBSCRIBER_JWT_KEY: '!ChangeThisMercureHubJWTSecretKey!'
     # MERCURE_SUBSCRIBER_JWT_ALG: 'HS256'
     MERCURE_EXTRA_DIRECTIVES: |
       # Allow all CORS origins
       cors_origins *
       # Allow all publishers
       publish_origins *
       # Enable the subscription endpoint (default is enabled)
       subscriptions
       # Enable the publishing endpoint (default is enabled)
       publish
       # Enable UI
       ui
 web:
   commands:
     start: ./mercure run

   locations:
     /:
       passthru: true
       scripts: false
       request_buffering:
         enabled: false
       headers:
         Access-Control-Allow-Origin: '*'
         
 mounts:
   'database': { source: local, source_path: 'database' }
   '/.local': { source: local, source_path: '.local' }
   '/.config': { source: local, source_path: '.config' }

 hooks:
   build: ./mercure.sh
```

The mercure binary downloads but when it is run, I get the following error,

```
Error: loading initial config: loading new config: loading http app module: provision http: server srv0: setting up route handlers: route 0: loading handler modules: position 0: loading module 'subroute': provision http.handlers.subroute: setting up subroutes: route 4: loading handler modules: position 1: loading module 'mercure': provision http.handlers.mercure: "bolt://database/mercure.db?subscriptions=1": invalid transport: open /mercure.db: read-only file system
```

I've created a mount that should be writable. I'm not sure what I have not configured right.

How do I get mercure to work by allowing writable files? (I thought the mounted volumes are writable)

    Hi Dayton Outar, 

    Did you had a look on this multiple app blogpost?

    I guess it could help as it is right your configuration.

    On step 5 (Step 5: Configure mercure) you will find some useful info on how to configure it. 

    In the web.commands.start, you miss to specify which Caddyfile is loaded: 

    start: ./mercure run --config Caddyfile.platform_sh

    Could you please share your Caddyfile and your mercure.sh scripts ?

    And I can see that a source.root is missing:

      source:
    # The path where the app code lives. Defaults to the directory of the .platform.app.yaml file. Useful for multi-app setups.
    root: mercure/.config

    I didn't tested yet using a relationships from app to mercure to allow my Symfony application talk with mercure this way so i can't tell if it works.
