unable to start server using provided info. about ark_ascended_docker HOT 3 CLOSED

yup, i was an idiot, forgot folder permissions on the folder i wanted to use for the server files.. so it was trying to write to a folder it was not allowed to, not sure why i forgot that part..

At first glance, this looks like the .env file is ignored and no environment variables are loaded during the startup. Could you make sure that you're using docker compose v2, (i.e., are you running the container with docker-compose or docker compose). If not uninstall the current version and follow the guide here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Otherwise, if you have modified the .env file, make sure that the default variables are still there. In particular STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH, LOG_FILE as these could directly be linked to that error.

i did modify the .env file, but only changed the session name, password and admin password. the rest is left default as pr the install instructions. though i did set it all up using portainer, that should not make any difference.

other than that i only modified the volumes, as i wanted the files to be in a specific folder on our server, but all folders where made on it's own when i started the stack. only thing with volumes i did not change was the steamcmd one, left that as is.

hold up, might have found the problem, will write if my assumption is correct and close the issue, i might have been stupid. if not i will write here again if my assumption is not correct.
