Manually downloaded mods issue

[Stewartcole13]

Describe the problem

Hi there! I am having an issue with the common error "ERROR failed to auto install CurseForge modpack".

I have tried to follow the installation steps as closely as I could but cant seem to get my compose file quite right. No matter the configuration I try it seems like the manually downloaded mods just keep giving me problems.

For clarification I am trying to run an All of Fabric 5 server remote on Ubuntu server through SSH, I downloaded the mods that needed manual download and transferred them through FileZilla.

There's likely something in my compose file that I don't have quite right since I'm new to using docker.

Hope you might be able to help, thanks!

I have also tried several different paths for both the repo and the volume, most commonly /home/mc-docker/downloads:/downloads

[itzg]

Yes, it'll be better to have a separate host directory for your download mount like you tried in the latest comment:

  - /home/mc-docker/downloads:/downloads

Can you list out the files in /home/mc-docker/downloads and make sure they match up with the filename/3rd column?

[rhullah]

You're also changing the expected downloads path in the container with CF_DOWNLOADS_REPO. You should remove that and map the host downloads path to the container's default downloads path like itzg mentioned.

[itzg]

Thanks @rhullah , I totally missed that (due to lack of formatting). Yes, that entry needs to be removed since referring to a host path is not correct.

[Stewartcole13]

That's for the responses guys! Ill try these out today and let you know how it goes!

[Stewartcole13]

Sorry for the slow response on my end, lots of work lately lol. I ran the compose.yml file with the suggested edits and was still getting the exact same issue. I can grab the logs from that in a bit, was there anything else you guys noticed that would cause this same issue? I just cant seem to get it to download those specific mods. I could probably exclude them but that would cause other issues right?

Thanks again for the help on this fellas.

[rhullah]

Can you respond with your current full compose file preferably using the code format block.

And include the log of the run.

[Stewartcole13]

Sorry for the poor formatting, not super versed in the coding world, hopefully this is a bit cleaner.

Here is the updated compose file.

version: "3.8"

I have debug enabled so I will attach the logs in a .txt file because of how massive it is.

Few things:

1. When posting your compose file, you shouldn't include your CF_API_KEY. You'll want to revoke that and generate a new one.
2. I would recommend commenting out the the restart: line until you get it working so that you don't hit any API limits.
3. The reason it's failing is described right at the end of your log. There are 6 mods that need to be manually downloaded and then placed in your host's /home/mc-docker/downloads directory:
   • Toast Manager
   • Display Case
   • Speedometer
   • Better Bad
   • Fix Experience Bug
   • Structory

[Stewartcole13]

That makes sense! I will make sure to generate a new key, I appreciate the heads up on that.

I will edit out the restart line for the time being as well.

And unless I have set things up wrong I believe I have already downloaded the required mods to a downloads directory in mc-docker (screenshot of directories attached)

Im sure it complicated things, but I used filezilla to transfer these mods into that downloads folder from my local PC to my ubuntu server. Not sure if that would have any effect on the mods.

[rhullah]

Hmm, well it looks like your last run couldn't find them. Either they're not there (like a bad volume mapping), or the permissions are not setup correctly. Those files should owned by UID/GID 1000. On your host system you can see this by running ls -n in the host's download folder. If they are not 1000, you can change them running the following in the host's download folder: chown 1000:1000 ./*.jar

[Stewartcole13]

I believe they are 1000 if I'm reading this correctly. (Im not exactly sure what to look for on this haha)

[itzg]

I would recommend avoiding absolute paths in your compose volumes declarations. I would also recommend avoiding mounting the directory (~/mc-docker) that contains your compose file into the container. It runs the risk of writing over its own compose file.

So, instead of

volumes:
- /home/mc-docker:/data
- /home/mc-docker/downloads:/downloads

I would recommend using relative paths with ./ that declares the directories to attach to be relative to the location of the compose file:

volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./downloads:/downloads

Side note: I'm thinking your absolute paths were incorrect. On most linux distributions the ~ directory of the current user is something like /home/<user> however what you show as ~/mc-docker must actually be something like /home/<user>/mc-docker.

[rhullah]

In addition to getting the volumes mounted correctly, you'll also need to manually include a dependent mod. I found this out by testing the modpack myself. You can do this by adding the CURSEFORGE_FILES section as follows:

    environment:
      ...
      CURSEFORGE_FILES: |
        enchantment-descriptions:3976091

[Stewartcole13]

You are gentlemen and you are scholars.

After both of your changes everything is up and running beautifully.

Thank you both so much for the help!
