Oh my god. that was a trip. So I discovered what I did wrong here and will explain it simply for everyone else trying. So once you launch the docker image you need to console in using root@docker:/vintagestory# docker container exec -it vintagestory-server /bin/bash Then I install nano because I hate VIM apt-get update && apt-get install nano Then navigate to the data folder cd data and open the serverconfig.json nano serverconfig.json near the bottom you can change the whitelist mode to 1 to get out of Nano use ctrl+x then y to say yes you want to save and then enter then exit to docker and restart the server and it should work. I made a lot of mistakes but one that was causing the biggest headache was I also tried to add my name to the whitelist but didn't use the right syntax so the server was rebooting over and over again.

Cleared because I was being dumb. See my post below on getting whitelisted.
