Env var or command line for using mods?

[JoshWobbles]

Is is possible to enable mods in this docker? if so is there a var or switch I can use to direct the mod folder? would like this to be on one of my shares so it is easy to update and manupulate.

I would also like to know how to install mods. I have created a Mods directory in the directory that has the server config xml, but at start the server always says no Mods directory found.

The Mods directory needs to be located with the game files, not the config files. So you would need to put the Mods directory in whatever directory you've got /steamcmd/7dtd mounted from; that will allow you to load mods.

I still had issues with that, I assume my modded files were getting overwritten by steam on each start

I added: RUN mkdir -p /steamcmd/7dtd/mods just below

# Create the volume directories
RUN mkdir -p /steamcmd/7dtd /app/.local/share/7DaysToDie

And for some reason:

# Fix permissions
RUN chown -R 1000:1000 \
    /steamcmd \
    /app \
    /steamcmd/7dtd/mods

Then just copy pasted my "mods" into the shared folder and everything went well. They persist after updates and stuff. Of course, wolffstarr's comment stands:

Where exactly did you add this? what file did you change/edit?
