Error: filesystem error: copy_file "/factorio/temp/currently-playing/level.dat" failed: Permission denied

[aSemy]

Hi, I'm getting persistent permission errors when trying to run the Factorio server on my Macbook.

This is the Dockerfile I'm using:

services:

  factorio-server:
    image: factoriotools/factorio:${FACTORIO_VERSION}
    container_name: "factorio-server"
    restart: "no"
    ports:
      - "34197:34197/udp" # factorio
      - "27015:27015/tcp" # rcon
    volumes:
      - "./factorio-server:/factorio"
    environment:
      PUID: ${FACTORIO_SERVER_USER_ID}
      PGID: ${FACTORIO_SERVER_GROUP_ID}

And the .env file:

FACTORIO_SERVER_GROUP_ID=20
FACTORIO_SERVER_USER_ID=502
FACTORIO_VERSION=2.0.16

However, I can't seem to get this working at all. I've tried owning the ./factorio-server/ dir with the Factorio uid:845 user (and removing the custom PUID and PGID), or as my current user, but I can't figure out the necessary combination...

I've deleted the files and container, and restarted my machine.

Versions

• factoriotools/factorio version 2.0.16
• Docker Compose version 2.29.2
• colima version 0.8.0

For investigation purposes I tried running sudo chown -R 845:845 ./factorio-server and sudo chmod -R 775 ./factorio-server, but I see a different failure.

Did you manage to resolve this? I transferred my server to another device and now I'm getting the exact same error

[Fank]

This looks like a permission issue

[icheered]

This IS a permission issue, but it should not occur because even following the examples in the documentation causes this problem
