Problem connecting to the Server after reinstalling the docker

[VOGDogma]

I originally installed this docker, and it worked without any issues. However, after reinstalling it because I made a bit of a mess with multiple botched first attempts and wanted to clean everything up to have a clean install location, I can no longer connect to the server despite the docker starting and running without any real issues. I am using a ddns address for a static IP address to connect to it, which worked fine before.

Here are the container details for further information

Heyho, depending on the workshop collection it could take a lot of time to actually start. Did you have a look into the docker exec -it CONTAINER console to check that all mods are loaded and it is really started?
Beside that, to replicate your issue I need your (sanitized) docker-compose.yaml or the docker run ... invocation you are using to start it up.

alright found the issue was using an addon to change the map to a random one each time the server starts but it caused the server to never stop changing the map so it never started properly 😅

well now i have a different problem. Server cant load/find any of the map files that are added. The map folder is empty aswell as the addons folder. Console shows that all the addons get processed during the server start. they all show up in the ulx mapvote. The server also restarts every time a map change happens. could be a connected issue but not sure.

If I remember correctly mods are loaded virtually, so they are not just "unpack content into garrysmod folder". So base folder, mod1 applied = virtual folder with base+mod1 visible for the server. So it could be the maps are just virtually loaded and therefore you dont see them inside the folder. Maybe the mods are applied one after each other so if your random map addon requires the maps addon it should be loaded after each map is loaded. To be absolutely sure, if you have your maps in a linked collection like I suggested I would remove the addon entirely and readd it to the end of the maps collection. But I have to admit this is just a guess by me, didn't touch this topic in years.
