Hey @ZakSham
Hey, the Base-Image of SteamCMD is on purpose under the steam usr with 1000, so this cant run under root.
Was this what you found out? Or do you have something to share?

[ZakSham]

Hi Jammsen,

Thank you for the reply. I was able to reset the password and run chmod as root but that didn't fix the issue.

This is what happen after running. I have added a folder and tried to run chmod as non-root but permission is denied too.

Do you need still help?

[ZakSham]

Yeah, I'm still stuck on this issue in the comment above. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[jammsen]

Create a user on the host with userid 1000, disable the user by giving him no password.
After add this user to the docker group "usermod -aG docker username" i think it was.
Do a fresh install over this user when you have added the user to docker-group if you dont want to do this, then just give him chown or chmod to this directy and try again.

[ZakSham]

I tried that and it shows it's already created and shown here at he bottom of this list. I also tried --- chown -R steam /srv/palworld/game--- and restarting but no luck.

I tried a fresh install using the following to ensure root wasn't trying to run.

docker run -d -u steam --name palworld [container name]

Any advise is appreciated. Thanks again.

[ZakSham]

I don't know why but this is my fix:

#reset root password
docker exec -itu 0 palworld passwd

su root

chown -R 1000:1000 /palworld

The did the trick.

[jammsen]

Very weird, might be down to your custom setup.
Also could please clarify something for me?
You wrote:

Do you mean Docker-Desktop or WSL2 under Windows?
What Docker-Version is that? the current is 25.0.0 before that it was 24 and 23 and 20 and 19, not sure how you can have 4.x.y
