I’m trying to require custom LUA modules but I get an error. (i have never done lua before learning Nakama)

I join an image with all the details.

Thanks

The log output is cut off. Can you paste the full text, or link it in a gist?

```
volumes:
 - ./:/nakama/data/modules

```

It’s possible that your data is mapping to a different location in the container than where you intend it. What’s making me think that is the path repeating `nakama/data/modules/nakama/data/modules`

Based on your structure, you might try:

```
volumes:
 - ./nakama/data:/nakama/data

```
