Usage of the Container #5

First of all thanks a lot for this great Docker Container and the example helped a lot. Now I'm at a point where I have the Server up and running but I don't know how to update the map or config without repulling the whole 1.7 GB Image. I'm quite new to docker so probably there is a smarter solution. When I just stop the container to change the config and start it again it doesn't change anything. Hopefully you can give me some advice.

Okay I realized that I edited the wrong config. I changed the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and not the cfg for the specific map. But then I don't quit get it why this cfg exists. 

 <LoadWorld>Z:\appdata\space-engineers\instances\DockerQuickStart\Saves\Docker Star System</LoadWorld>

Is this the only relevant part and the rest gets overwritten when the map is loaded?

Sorry for the late answer. The SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg is the config created before a world is initialized and saved. After the first start usually the Sandbox_config.sbc is used when it comes to game settings.

The SessionSettings block in SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg is copied to the Settings block in the Sandbox_config.sbc, the other settings of SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg are still valid, for example IP, SteamPort, ServerPort, LoadWorld.

IP and LoadWorld are overwritten on startup of the docker container (entrypoint.sh) as these are relevant to the docker container.

If you want to load your own save just upload it to your server /appdata/space-engineers/instances/YOUR_NAME.

Create it by using the server config GUI from the dedicated server and just upload it. YOUR_NAME is then the instance name of your world. Set it in docker-compose.yml and run docker-compose up -d, you do not need to repull anything. If its still unclear ask, if you got /get the solution please close this issue.
