I cant set myself as Admin

[TheBombTuber]

Hello,

i have the problem that i cant set myself as an admin on the avorion server.

I already tried to set up the admin.xml but it just get wiped clean after i start the server.

And i cant use the docker terminal to pass through any commands to the server.

Is there any other way to set me as admin??

I use docker on an synology ds218+

Thanks for the help.

Is admin.xml getting wiped clean despite you mounting the data volume?

[TheBombTuber]

yes

[TheBombTuber]

all the other files are fine though

[rfvgyhn]

I'm not sure what the cause is for that. It sounds like a server bug since all the other files are fine. You could try denying write permissions on the file. I don't know if that would cause a different problem though.

I'm not familiar with how docker is run on a synology, have you tried passing in the --admin steamId argument to the ENTRYPOINT of the docker container?

[TheBombTuber]

I will try denying the permission after changing the file in the morning. And how do i pass the argument to the entrypoint? I tried with exec and start but both didnt work

[rfvgyhn]

It's passed in when you create the container. docker run rfvgyhn/avorion --admin steamId Or if you're using docker-compose, you can use the command option (command: --admin steamId).

I will try that tomorrow and let you know if it worked

Changing the permission after editing the admin.xml did nothing the server just made a new one.

And i tried creating the container with the admin command but it just tells me "unknown flag: --admin"

here is what i tried

docker run -d --name avorion \ -p 27000:27000 \ -p 27000:27000/udp \ -p 27003:27003/udp \ -p 27020:27020/udp \ -p 27021:27021/udp \ -p 27001:27001 \ -v /host/path/saves:/home/steam/.avorion/galaxies/avorion_galaxy \ --admin 76561198066028464 \ rfvgyhn/avorion

i also tried

docker run -d --name avorion --admin 76561198066028464 \ -p 27000:27000 \ -p 27000:27000/udp \ -p 27003:27003/udp \ -p 27020:27020/udp \ -p 27021:27021/udp \ -p 27001:27001 \ -v /host/path/saves:/home/steam/.avorion/galaxies/avorion_galaxy \ rfvgyhn/avorion

am i doing it wrong??

[TheBombTuber]

I know what was wrong with the admin.xml now. I dont understand why but apparently i cant declare my ingame name as Admin.

This works <admin name="admin" id="76561198066028464"/>

This does not work <admin name="TheBombTuber" id="76561198066028464"/>

I will try to find out what exactly went wrong there.

Thanks for your time and suggestions.

Just for future reference, when you want to pass in additional arguments, they go after the image name.

docker run -d --name avorion \
    -p 27000:27000 \ 
    -p 27000:27000/udp \ 
    -p 27003:27003/udp \ 
    -p 27020:27020/udp \ 
    -p 27021:27021/udp \ 
    -p 27001:27001 \ 
    -v /host/path/saves:/home/steam/.avorion/galaxies/avorion_galaxy \ 
    rfvgyhn/avorion \
    --admin 76561198066028464
