After updating server-settings.json by hand, the server won't start #8

Closed audiodude closed 4 years ago

audiodude commented 4 years ago

I edited server-settings.json by hand over SSH. I believe I have messed something up because after I ran the docker restart command, docker ps doesn't show the container running anymore.

How do I manually relaunch the container, preferably with logs so I can see what I'm doing wrong?

Have you tried: sudo docker logs ecs-factorio

I figured it out by externally validating my JSON, but then, because I didn't know the name of the container (apparently it's ecs-factorio) I had to restart the whole cloud formation in order to bring the factorio container back up.

My recommendation is a short section in the README, either specifically about debugging the server-settings and seeing the logs, or just in general how to stop, start, restart the container. I had to figure out how to do the latter on my own when adding my save file and I'm sure it's not the best way.

Thanks!

Added a brief section at the bottom. Thanks for raising this, hope the info helps someone else.
