FAQ

I get a permission error when trying to execute the shell scripts

The shell scripts are missing the execute flag. Add it with chmod +x *.sh in webserver and snake/server

I get a gradlew permission error when running the game server container

Same as with the shell scripts: Execute chmod +x gradlew in snake/server

The Webserver doesnt send me updated files

Typical caching problem. Solution:

1. Clear Browser Cache
2. Only if 1 didnt work: Clear Docker Cache docker system prune -a
