Private Server reset on restart?

[Littleknowndiva]

So, I have a low level rig that I use to run a private server for friends and family, the issue I'm having since the A20 update is that if the server is restarted for any reason (say for example I need to restart the actual computer) when the server loads up again, it has completely reset, all of the settings are just set to default, is there a particular reason for this happening? And just to clarify, if it keeps happening can I just drag and drop a backup copy of my serverconfig before the reload to keep my created world?

In your command line, does it point to your edited version of the serverconfig file? I put mine in the Config folder and put code in so it doesn’t refer to the stock serverconfig file in the main folder.

That should work. Are you running in Docker by any chance?

I've had to reset a couple of times, but keeping a copy of my serverconfig has worked, I'm not sure what Docker is?

You could rename it also. like "myconfig.xml" or anything really. ricardo.xml...

Then set configfile=myconfig.xml and you never have to worry about an update overwriting your file.
