Moved container to new server - says I have more dependencies (some that don't make sense, like forge mods - it's a fabric server)? #4308

I've been using the docker-minecraft-server for about a year for a 1.20.1 Fabric server. That server was running out of space and on kind of crappy hardware, so I set up a new server, installed Docker Compose, and then zipped up and moved the container to the new server. After unzipping and running docker compose up -d on the new server it was failing to start, and then looking at the logs I'm seeing this: First, I don't understand why it was running fine on the old server with the same exact docker compose yaml file? Second, some of these look like they are Forge plugins, so that doesn't make any sense? What should I do? Thanks! EDIT: here is the compose.yaml file I've been using on the older server: Full Docker Compose Log: |

I only have some guesses/questions. One guess is that the versions of the mods might have updated since the last restart of the old server. However that's a weak guess since the number of new dependencies is strange. One or two, sure, but not that many. How did you zip up the previous several exactly? I'm wondering if you zipped |

Sorry, I missed this part
Yes. That's exactly what the warning is saying needs to be done. |

Ah, okay - interesting, I was hesitant to do with it being a fabric server. I'll give it a go, hopefully that'll get it back up and running! |
|
The fatal error from the latest logs is, so whatever "wthit" is seems to be broken. |
The alternative is that you've included something that shouldn't be server-side and it in turn has dependencies that you're not expecting. |
|
Oh! Well that's certainly a possibility. My niece just gave me a list of the mods she wanted on her server, I didn't even realize that some might be client only! At the very least hopefully she can live without the WTHIT one (seems to be some sort of tooltips mod/plugin). I'm back up now from installing some updates on the new server, so I'll give this a shot now. Thanks again!! |

Unfortunately still a no-go trying all of that. First tried just commenting out wthit in the CURSEFORGE_FILES environment var, and when that didn't seem to get anywhere (was reading as this: then I tried adding betterend-forge, betterend-neoforge, and origins-forge to the list, but now I'm getting errors on all three of those: I'll start trying to go through and figure out if anything should be client side only. Just weird that it worked well on the old server as-is if that's the problem. |

Can you post a directory listing of the old server's mods directory? And the fabric jar in the top level directory. |
Also, I just tried moving just the config.yaml and .env file to a new container folder and running it. I saw an error on the Spark mod on there, so removed just that one and tried again (on the new server) and it loads... not quite sure what that means. (Spark is working on the old server, but I don't need it). Maybe we just need to start over on the server then? Hopefully they won't be too upset about losing whatever they had done on it if so. |

I narrowed the copy of your compose to just the primary parts and it started up fine for me. I changed two things:
services:
mc:

tty: true
stdin_open: true
ports:
- "25565:25565"
environment:
VERSION: "1.20.1"

Yeah looks like I'm getting the same on a 'fresh' install like that too, kinda like I did above but with your edits to save Spark. Trying that back in the old folder structure it fails again - so weird. Must be something in the 'data' folder screwing it up? Oh well, I'm going to run the idea of starting over by them (mainly the niece, I don't think my nephew will care much) since it still works great if we just drop the data folder and start over fresh. |
