Pelican Egg Permission Issue – Breakdown

[OfficialShinu]

Current Behavior

Servers created through the Pelican panel fail to start after installation.
During pre-boot, Wings attempts to:
Update configuration files (e.g. server.properties)
Apply ownership to the server root directory
Startup aborts with permission errors.
WebSocket connection closes and the server is marked offline.

The issue occurs:
On fresh installs
Even when “Start server after install” is disabled
Without any manual file uploads
Manually running:
chown -R 999:999 /mnt/server
immediately resolves the issue.

Expected Behavior

Expected Behavior

Servers installed via the panel should:
Have consistent file ownership after installation
Start successfully without manual permission fixes

Wings should be able to:
Modify server.propertie
Chown the server directory during pre-boot
Egg install scripts should leave /mnt/server in a valid state for Pelican’s container user (999:999).

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce
Create a new server using a Minecraft (Paper / Fabric) egg
Allow the installation to complete (no manual file uploads).
Attempt to start the server (or allow auto-start).
Observe the server failing during pre-boot with permission errors.
Inspect server files on the node:
ls -l /var/lib/pelican/volumes/<server-uuid>/
Notice files owned byroot:rootinstead of pelican:pelican.

as extra info 
adding "chown -R 999:999 /mnt/server" at the end of the egg install script fixes it

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues before opening this issue.
• I have provided all relevant details, including the specific game and Docker images I am using if this issue is related to running a server.
• I have checked in the Discord server and believe this is a bug with the software, and not a configuration issue with my specific system.

adding chown -R 999:999 /mnt/server at the end of the scripts of the egg fixed it
putting it in the /etc/pelican/config.yml under docker doesn't work cause when starting wings it removes/overwrites it
