Default files not being created when image runs

[dalanmiller]

I'm not seeing the default config files being created when I start the image. I'm not seeing any permissions issues so I don't think anything is wrong there.

This is using latest and the following command on Mac OSX

sudo docker run -d \
  --network=host \
  -p 34197:34197/udp \
  -p 27015:27015/tcp \
  -v /opt/factorio:/factorio \
  --name factorio \
  --restart=always  \
  factoriotools/factorio

/opt/factorio $ ls -halt                                                                                                                

drwxr-xr-x  3 845   845      96B  8 Dec 17:14 .

Thought it might be because I didn't have /opt/factorio added here:

This didn't change anything however.

I did a quick test if it works on Linux and it does correctly. Could your Factorio image be old?
Other than that I have no clue if this is a mistake on our end or your end as I have no Mac to test this on. If you find more information about this please share them with us in this issue so that we can add the solution to the readme or fix one of the scripts if necessary.

I'm running into something similar on Mac, but when I run the logs I get a permission denied. I already chown-d the folder I am trying to use, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

The quick start guide is mainly focused around running this on a Linux-based host. Running these commands with sudo is overkill since root privileges aren't needed. I created a .factorio directory in my home directory and modified the quick start script to the following:

mkdir -p ~/.factorio

docker run -d \
	-p 34197:34197/udp \
	-p 27015:27015/tcp \
	-v $HOME/.factorio/:/factorio \
	--name factorio \
	--restart=always \
	factoriotools/factorio

You could replace $HOME with the full path, such as /Users/user/.factorio.

Running these commands with sudo is overkill since root privileges aren't needed.

If you haven't added the current user to the docker group they are needed on Linux and doing it like this is the recommended way in production.

Just my two cents:
Imho, remove the image with docker rmi _imagetag_ and pull it again

Perhaps add the read/write handle, like this:
-v '/mnt/user/docker/factorio-1':'/factorio':'rw'

Also, have you tried using another map instead of a submap of /opt ?
