docker restart command issue

[RayKimEX]

Can you explain why the server gets reset even though I only executed the 'docker restart' command? It is a Linux server, and the save files were located in '/home/[username]/palworld/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/'. However, after executing the 'docker restart' command, those save files are not applied, and it starts from the beginning. How can I deal with this situation, and is there a way to recover it?

Could you share the docker-compose or start command you use? I suspect that your volumes are not persistent

The first time I started the server, I used docker run -d \ --name palworld-server \ -p 8211:8211/udp \ -p 27015:27015/udp \ -v ./palworld:/palworld/ \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e PORT=8211 \ -e PLAYERS=16 \ -e MULTITHREADING=true \ -e RCON_ENABLED=true \ -e RCON_PORT=25575 \ -e TZ=UTC \ -e EXP_RATE=10.000000 \ -e PAL_CAPTURE_RATE=2.000000 \ -e PAL_DAMAGE_RATE_ATTACK=0.900000 \ -e PLAYER_STAMINA_DECREASE_RATE=0.800000 \ -e PLAYER_AUTO_HP_REGEN_RATE=4.000000 \ -e PLAYER_AUTO_HP_REGEN_RATE_IN_SLEEP=4.000000 \ -e PAL_AUTO_HP_REGEN_RATE=4.000000 \ -e PAL_AUTO_HP_REGEN_RATE_IN_SLEEP=4.000000 \ -e COLLECTION_DROP_RATE=2.000000 \ -e COLLECTION_OBJECT_HP_RATE=0.500000 \ -e ENEMY_DROP_ITEM_RATE=2.000000 \ -e ENABLE_PLAYER_TO_PLAYER_DAMAGE=True \ -e ENABLE_INVADER_ENEMY=False \ -e AUTO_RESET_GUILD_TIME_NO_ONLINE_PLAYERS=1.000000 \ -e PAL_EGG_DEFAULT_HATCHING_TIME=1.000000 \ -e WORK_SPEED_RATE=4.000000 \ -e IS_PVP=True \ -e CAN_PICKUP_OTHER_GUILD_DEATH_PENALTY_DROP=True \ -e IS_START_LOCATION_SELECT_BY_MAP=False \ -e ENABLE_DEFENSE_OTHER_GUILD_PLAYER=True \ -e ADMIN_PASSWORD="adminpassword" \ -e SERVER_PASSWORD="serverpassword" \ -e COMMUNITY=false \ -e SERVER_NAME="servername" \ -e SERVER_DESCRIPTION="serverdescription" \ -e ALLOW_CONNECT_PLATFORM="Steam" \ --restart unless-stopped \ --stop-timeout 30 \ thijsvanloef/palworld-server-docker:latest

Then, I used just docker restart [CONTAINER ID] to restart the server. As a result, the server got reset.
Did I miss something?

I tried it but it didn't reproduce.

$ docker restart palworld-server
$ docker logs palworld-server

Does it look like the following?
