I don’t know how to create any runtime function. I wanna create a leaderboard and I made its .ts file and copy it in modules folder. but I don’t know how to run at start up. In documenting there is no complete explanation.

Hey @ghasem167 have you taken a look at our Typescript runtime setup guide? I recommend taking a look at that guide for how to setup your `tsconfig.json`, Docker, and NPM for your runtime code.

> **[TypeScript Runtime](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/server-framework/typescript-runtime/)**

> Learn how to configure and develop your project using JavaScript for your game server custom logic.

As for creating a basic leaderboard yourself, you’ll want to invoke `nk.leaderboardCreate(...)` in your runtime code. For example:

```auto
let id = '4ec4f126-3f9d-11e7-84ef-b7c182b36521';
let authoritative = false;
let sort = nkruntime.SortOrder.DESCENDING;
let operator = nkruntime.Operator.BEST;
let reset = '0 0 * * 1';

let metadata = {
  weatherConditions: 'rain',
};

try {
    nk.leaderboardCreate(id, authoritative, sort, operator, reset, metadata);
} catch(error) {
    // Handle error
}

```

I watched it and do anything but I have this problem

I was able to get this set up manually however when I tried to move to Dockerfile/docker-compose the server\_nakama container is unable to find files moved by the Dockerfile container. Namely: When I bind the /nakama/data relative path to ./data in the docker-compose file, neither the configuration file nor index.js can be located. The only way I found to resolve this is by manually placing…
