Server Help Server won't start on Debian

The server files were pulled off of steam.
This is the error :

Sorry for the necro.
I've just gotten this same error though I'm running the server off archlinux.

My setup involves putting the server files onto an NFS share that's mounted. That share is on a NAS that manages various other shares, but the idea is to avoid manually configuring samba (for my boss to use) and NFS (for me to use). Due to the files being accessible now only over the network (on this NAS) I've gotten this file lock error. NFS does support file locking, but presumably not the kind the devs are using (update please?).

I have solved this problem though, for myself. Of course I already had to setup a custom unit file (service) for systemd to utilize.. it was just launching `/srv/starbound/linux/starbound_server` but I now need to run some shell script stuff to hack this thing to life. Here are both files for anybody else running into the same problem on a similar setup to mine.

`/etc/systemd/system/starbound-server.service`

Code:

[Unit]
Description=StarboundServer
After=local-fs.target network.target multi-user.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/srv/starbound/linux
User=starbound
Group=starbound
Type=simple
ExecStart=/srv/starbound/launch-server.sh
RestartSec=15
Restart=always
KillSignal=SIGINT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Don't forget to set execution permissions.
`/srv/starbound/launch-server.sh`

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cd /srv/starbound/storage/universe
rm universe.lock
ln -s /srv/do-not-delete-me universe.lock
cd /srv/starbound/linux
chown starbound:starbound * -R
chmod g+rw * -R
./starbound_server

You'll see I link `/srv/do-not-delete-me` (a file on a local device) to where the lock file goes. This linkage breaks upon a restart of the game server, so the shell script is a necessary evil to put the lock file back onto a local device to support whatever file locking is going on here. Just be sure to create that do-not-delete-me file, and set owner/group permissions.

Cheers
