Description

I have been running the server for a few months with no problems using Docker Desktop for Mac (Intel). Yesterday my kids could not connect on their iPads because it was outdated. I restarted the server to upgrade to the latest version. Now it will not show up in the friends tab. I also cannot connect when I enter the information manually on the servers tab.

I am using all of the default ports and settings. Here is what I am getting from the log output:

time="2022-05-08T16:26:35Z" level=debug msg="Using /data to match uid and gid"
time="2022-05-08T16:26:35Z" level=debug msg="Resolved UID=0 from match path"
time="2022-05-08T16:26:35Z" level=debug msg="Resolved GID=0 from match path"
time="2022-05-08T16:26:35Z" level=debug msg="stdin is detached, so forwarding is disabled"

I am not sure why it is reporting the permissions.json file is missing because it is there and I did make any changes other that restarting the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Docker Desktop for Mac setup, default port mappings, and the provided startup logs, especially the IPv4 ports and permissions.json warning. Reproduce the server startup with the default settings and compare network reachability from an iPad and via manual server entry. Done means the server is discoverable in the Friends tab and accepts a manual connection.
