Write Permission Error about valheim-docker HOT 12 CLOSED

On your host what are the permissions of ./valheim/saves and ./valheim/server ? also as per my reply whats your user and group id? if they are not 1000 you need to supply them as environment variables.

from valheim-docker.

So those are required now? In the documentation here (below) it says that they are not required.

Should I create the saves & server directories prior to running docker-compose up?

from valheim-docker.

I should be more clear in the documentation, they are required if your user and group ID are not 1000.

@mbround18 I supplied the ID of 0/0 as I'm logged in as root. Alas, the error still occurs. Status code 8 still.

might I suggest you create a non root user, add them to the docker group, then run the docker compose as that user? It is a massive security risk to run as root.

This is just a quick VPS so I wasn't looking to create something secure right now. Just to get the server running to verify that this container works. Does it require this step then? If so I'll try creating a user now....

Yesss!!! Lol this container is designed to be run on a non root user :P that is best practice when it comes to docker and I don't just highly recommend it, it is needed! 💯

from valheim-docker.

T_T Alright. I'll get the commands in place and then post them here for you to hopefully add to the guide for others.

@mbround18 still getting the same error... :(

Is this steam user in the docker group? (In order to spin up the compose)

Sometimes docker compose has funky permissions and it's dependant on how you set it up. You can try, as the steam user, creating those directories on your host.

I did docker and then full perms and still no luck. I'll just going to nuke the vds and start from scratch today. -_-

Best of luck! Let me know how it goes
