Initial startup fails due to "sed: can't read /home/steam/Engine.ini: Permission denied"

Describe the Bug When I start the docker container for the first time using the below docker compose file, the container logs the following and then exits:

Attaching to satisfactory-server
satisfactory-server    | Setting autosave number to 3
satisfactory-server    | Setting crash reporting to True
satisfactory-server    | sed: can't read /home/steam/Engine.ini: Permission denied

Hey @rnd256, sorry for getting to this so late.

Does user id 1000 have permission to make changes to ${HOME}/game-data/satisfactory-server? This looks like a simple permissions issue between your host directory and the user ID you've passed through

[rnd256]

@wolveix thank you for the response - Yes, I can confirm that user ID 1000 has ownership and read/write access to ${HOME}/game-data/satisfactory-server and all the subdirs that get created within it.

But the /home/steam/Engine.ini filepath is not mapped on any Docker volume, so I would expect that any permission issues it has is either within the Docker image itself, or I'm supposed to be mapping a Docker volume for it.

FYI, I ended up switching to using the didstopia/satisfactory-server:ubuntu-18.04 image, since I was able to get that one to work instead.

Thank you for your help! I'll leave this issue open in case others encounter it, but feel free to close it if you think it's a problem specific to me.

@rnd256 sorry that you ended up having to use another image, but I'm glad you found a solution regardless! I'm still curious as to what the issue could have been. Were you using a Synology NAS by any chance?

[rnd256]

Nope, no Synology NAS - I was running it on an Ubuntu PC with an Intel CPU
