Failing to start due to client side mods

[clbx]

Describe the problem

The modpack is failing to start due to the lack of two client side mods. If I download these mods, it then fails to start them with an invalid dist DEDICATED_SERVER, error.

I'm trying to install this modpack

Container definition

I run it in kubernetes, but its more or less the same as the docker compose file

I'm not sure if there's anything more the image can do to solve this -- perhaps write an issue for the modpack author.

You will definitely need to exclude client side mods that fail with

invalid dist DEDICATED_SERVER

Perhaps you'll need to exclude more client side mods that are not failing with that obvious kind of error but instead are failing because the other client mods are missing.

[froebera]

'ryoamiclights jer-integration bocchium' are the mods that need to be excluded.

Dont forget that you have to either download your server files again or manually remove these mods from your mod folder after updating the environment variable.

[itzg]

Thanks @froebera !

Can also set CF_FORCE_SYNCHRONIZE temporarily to "true" to ensure excluded mods are cleaned up.

[clbx]

Thank you both!

I also had to remove "spruceui", and then delete them from the mods folder. Looks like its happy now.

@clbx Are you able to share your docker compose file? I am running into a very similar issue but my exclude statements do not seem to working for me

Getting errors for jerintegration and ryoamiclights

  Details:
steampunk-1  |  Mod File: /data/mods/JER-Integration-4.5.0.jar
steampunk-1  |  Failure message: Mod jerintegration requires jeresources 0.14.1.160 or above
steampunk-1  |          Currently, jeresources is not installed
....
steampunk-1  |  Failure message: Mod ryoamiclights requires spruceui any

steampunk-1  |  Mod Version: 0.1.5+1.19.2

Update:

The fix for me was updating the slug from `jerintegration -> jer-integration (mod-page)

Then setting CF_FORCE_SYNCHRONIZE : true
