Description

I am trying to deploy this on my unraid server.

I have used all your variables/port/env within the docker section

Unraid doesn't appear to allow :z so i have these as RW

i am getting constant container reboots.

I can see the logs get generated and it advises

Error: server is not initialized (/etc/opt/simplex/smp-server.ini does not exist).
Run `smp-server init`.

I can't run the init command manually in the docker as its constantly rebooting.

Any suggestions? should I be setting a PUID or PGID or UMASK?

Research direction

Start with the Docker deployment configuration and the container logs showing that /etc/opt/simplex/smp-server.ini is missing. Reproduce the Unraid setup, including the RW volume configuration and restart behavior, then check how smp-server init is expected to run. Done means documenting or correcting the setup so the container initializes and stays running.
