Good day all,
So I am working on building a bunch of game servers that run inside docker. The idea is when the game updates, the base image updates( All game files) then there is a volume attached where the game is installed and all progress transfers allowing separation of game servers as well as minimizing the amount of updates need per game server. So I have started with PixARK. It is a windows only based server that uses steamcmd so I built a image from cm2network/steamcmd:root, installed wine32 and wine64, installed the game and ran it. It is using --net=host but it does not register the game on steam like it should. I looked at the log and got an error of not being able to find the Public IP address so I build my own steamcmd base image with wine using the docker file of cm2network/steamcmd and adding in wine but instead of using debian:buster-slim as the base I used deabain:buster. This got rid of the external IP error however I am still not able to get the server to show up inside the game. So I resorted to doing a build inside my Debian virtual machine, installed steamcmd, installed wine32 and wine64 (Almost the same way I did inside dockerfile) and ran exactly the same commands and it worked no problem. I am puzzled as to what is going on and why it is not working. What am I missing? Also my docker is running inside the same virtual machine I used to test the game on.

I know I overwrite my CMD with bash but that is to allow me to try figure out what is going on and why it is not working.
Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?
