Develop server not starting/no save file possible

[Omaha2002]

When using the docker develop version it is not possible to create the first save file.

It is possible to upload a save file but selecting it results in server exiting with a:

I realise I mentioned it in #261 but also that I was hijacking another issue with the mods not working.

I'm not able to reproduce this. Could you send the log output with the error?

[Omaha2002]

Here it is:

• first error, trying to create save file
• second error, trying to start server with uploaded savefile

The first error looks like a permission issue trying to create the server directories. The second error might be an issue with the permissions of your volume that prevent the save file from being created?

[Omaha2002]

That seems to be the case, thing is I didn't change any permissions and ran the docker-compose.yaml without anything else.

Server permissions:

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 8 11:22 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 jeroen jeroen 4096 Feb 19 07:17 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 78 Feb 19 07:17 .env -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2199 Mar 2 08:52 docker-compose.yaml drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Mar 8 11:22 factorio-data/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 11:23 fsm-data/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 11:13 traefik-data/

On my other "old" server I have the same permissions on the dirs. For testing purposes I did a chmod -R 777 * on all dirs, doesn't change anything, still the same error.

[knoxfighter]

Since our docker container is running as root, drive permissions should not be of any problem. I also not yet had the time and motivation to look into this issue, sorry. Which factorio version do you use?

It seems like factorio has problems correctly creating the right path: Error Util.cpp:83: filesystem error: cannot make canonical path: Operation not permitted [/opt/factorio/ bin/x64/../../config]

[Omaha2002]

I installed factorio:latest as a test, that one works, able to create save file and start server. But of course still has the Mods error.

[mroote]

Hmm thanks for the test seems the issue is isolated to the current develop build in that case. Could you post your docker-compose file?

[Omaha2002]

I wget this one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenFactorioServerManager/factorio-server-manager/develop/docker/docker-compose.yaml

and change: "ofsm/ofsm:latest" to "ofsm/ofsm:develop"

when I do a docker ps I see it's running ofsm/ofsm:develop

(sorry for the edit)

[knoxfighter]

I can reporduce this:

factorio-server-manager    | 2021/03/08 15:59:46 Error in creating Factorio save: exit status 1
factorio-server-manager    | 2021/03/08 15:59:46 Error creating save {eerste keer.zip}: exit status 1

Only happens in the docker container and not on my local development.

Local works fine, local built image is also broken. Docker is to blame here, hopefully i can find out, why.

Error message same as when starting server:

   0.000 Error Util.cpp:83: filesystem error: cannot make canonical path: Operation not permitted [/opt/factorio/bin/x64/../../config]

[knoxfighter]

This does not happen, when using an ubuntu docker image. I don't understand why, that is happening :(

[Omaha2002]

I use docker on Ubuntu

[knoxfighter]

It's about the docker image and not the docker host: The image is built with alpine linux.

[Omaha2002]

Stable works, develop doesn't, is it because dynamic linking?

something with bind mounts? https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/

[knoxfighter]

To be fair, i have absolutely no idea, what is going on there. Cause the error is not caused by the server-manager, but by the factorio-server itself. I don't find any clue, why that should not work with muslc anymore. I would say, we can just move the docker image to use ubuntu or debian. What do you thing @mroote ?

[mroote]

I think we went with Alpine originally just to save on image size, the latest Ubuntu container is bigger but not significantly so. ~8MB on frolvlad/alpine-glibc vs ~30MB with the latest Ubuntu. If switching the base container solves the issue I don't have a problem with that.

[knoxfighter]

It does fix it on my local machine, i will create a branch with the changes later (will play gw2 now), then you can test it by easily checking out the image from dockerhub :)

[knoxfighter]

Pushed to a new branch, please test the ubuntu docker image ofsm/ofsm:use-ubuntu-docker.

[Omaha2002]

Did a fresh Install of ofsm/ofsm:use-ubuntu-docker, can confirm it's working:

• login in MODS with factorio account and download mods;
• create first save file;
• start server with first save file;
• connect with factorio "client" with server, download mod and play game;
• start/stop server.

i would say: push to production :-) #261 & #264 solved

Thanks for helping out with testing this @Omaha2002
