Operation not permitted [/opt/factorio/bin/x64/../../config/config.ini]

After a while my friend and me wanted to come back to factorio. So i updated my server to 1.1.107 (stable) and got this:

0.000 Error Util.cpp:86: filesystem error: cannot make canonical path: Operation not permitted [/opt/factorio/bin/x64/../../config/config.ini]

I checked older versions and the server will run a container up to 1.1.100, updating to 1.1.101 or newer results in error stated above.

Any suggestions?

Can you share how you start the container? So I may be able to reproduce it.

[pmoisel]

Sure. I have a systemd-service:

[Unit]
Description=Factorio Server
After=docker.service
Requires=docker.service

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=0
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker stop factorio4
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm factorio4
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull factoriotools/factorio:stable
ExecStart=docker run \
        -d \
        -p 34200:34197/udp \
        -v /home/factorio4:/factorio \
        --name factorio4 \
        -e LOAD_LATEST_SAVE=false \
        -e SAVE_NAME=archievement.zip \
        factoriotools/factorio:stable
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop factorio4
User=factorio
Group=factorio
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]

resulting in:

any update?

We had pretty much the same problem. Up to version 1.1.101 everything was fine. But every version tested from 102 to 110 had the same error message. Even when setting up a new container without any save game.
We tried many different things, but nothing worked. So our last option was a new host os, since we were still using Ubuntu 19. Now with Ubuntu 22 everything is working for us.
