I have now reset the Startup settings to default and restarted the server. The default startup command is being executed, but npm still fails with: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/container/.npm' Then Node reports: ERR MODULE NOT FOUND: Cannot find package 'discord.js' imported from /home/container/src/index.js Node.js version: 22.23.4 I previously also received: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/container/node modules' Please investigate and repair the ownership and write permissions for my server's container filesystem, particularly /home/container/.npm and /home/container, for the correct container user. This persists even with the default startup command. Please escalate this to your server administrator if necessary.

The error is likely because npm can’t write to , so the install never completes. Since resetting Startup didn’t fix the error, this may need node side attention. 1. In Files , delete and if you can, then restart. 2. Check that is listed in dependencies. 3. If deleting those folders also gives a permission error—or npm still reports —reply with the node name, support tag, and console output from Start until it stops (remove any secrets).
