Docker contrainer failing to initalize .dlls about docker-vrising

[panromir]

That would be redundant, the container is running WINE to emulate Windows on Linux.
If you have a Windows host, you technically don't need to run a container on linux to run a V-Rising Server, in fact, it's probably better to run this on a Windows Machine if you can.

If you want to run this on Linux, you need to adjust your source paths to something that is inside your VM. Linux paths typically /look/like/this.
What was the error when you tried to use the ./persistentdata path?

Docker on windows isn't the best. If you have WSL2 installed and enabled it will use that. If not, than not sure but don't use docker for a V-Rising server when your running windows. If you don't have WSL2 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install. Else I highly recommend not using docker as you will lose performance over the virtualization.
Do this instead.
Create a new Non Admin Account.
Login that account.
Open windows firewall and add a inbound rule to allow the port.
Make sure you port forward on your router if your doing this from your own PC.
Run The server on that account.
(Optional) Use Group Policy to restrict the account even more.

What platform are you using to run Docker?
The source path suggests Windows.

I'm running it on docker through windows, but it is hosting on a linux VM.

Is there a way to force it to run windows inside the docker container?

I mean you are 100% correct. If I run the .exe, it is perfectly fine. I just want to use docker for the ease of use and having it all in one place!

[panromir]

Hard to say how you've built your setup.
From what I can gather, docker desktop can use Hyper-V for hosting a minimal Linux(Kernel) to run Linux containers "on Windows".

Since you're saying that you have a dedicated Linux VM, youre probably using a setup similar to this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/linux-containers

If you have a dedicated Linux VM, please SSH into it, install Docker CE in it (which should contain docker compose) and run docker compose up in the folder you copied the docker-compose.yml into.
If that doesn't work, you can temporarily delete all volumes or use the docker-cli command (without the -v args) to run a container with ephemeral volumes to see if it works at all.

A wine-emulation in a docker on windows. You might just run the dedicated server with a .bat script, imho.
