Repeated process

When you have finished above you can now just edit the script.txt file with your new game ID and start the download process for any game/server:

1. docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it --rm -v "steamLogin:/root/.steam:z" -v "$PWD/dl:/steamDL" -v "$PWD:/cosi" steamcmd/steamcmd:latest +runscript /cosi/script.txt

Hello. What operating system You used? Ubuntu or another? 32 or 64 bit?? Thank You for help :)

Not of working quality, because of this issue tonistiigi/binfmt#104

Im getting an error when logging in, heres a screenshot:
https://prnt.sc/wzLHT26XDUPH
Any idea why?

i have same problem as @Golaco, any solutions?

@javiemgz, I also had the same problem , so instead I manually installed it by going inside the steamcmd image.

• Open a shell connection using command.

$ docker run --platform linux/amd64 --entrypoint /bin/sh -it steamcmd/steamcmd:latest

• Next run steamcmd, log in anonymously, and install your game.
  (It seems to install fine and I think I got it to run, trouble is it hangs when started.)

Steam> login anonymous
Steam> app_update [APPID here] validate

• Or install into local mounted directory named data from the host pc. (Have not tested this yet)

$ docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it -v $PWD:/data steamcmd/steamcmd:latest +login anonymous +force_install_dir /data +app_update [APPID here]  +quit

I also have that error, and I can't download games with an anonymous login.
Did anybody found why we can't logging in?

I am still getting the same error as @Golaco is getting of which is https://prnt.sc/wzLHT26XDUPH However, I tried @iwakura1ain's method, When I attempt to do that method, I get asked a password for the anonymous user and I tried my steam password and such, and still get it as password wrong. I tried blank passwords and all that. Is there any new solution. My goal is to host a Satisfactory server on my Pi4

FYI you can replace all in the emulator install with amd64,386 since you don't need the other types

i keep getting "exec /bin/sh: exec format error"
im on the latest image (Linux raspberrypi 6.1.0-rpi7-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.63-1+rpt1 (2023-11-24) aarch64 GNU/Linux)

Anyone got any hints?
#Solved it by doing postinstall
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

and made sure i ran, docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all

Had to use @sSteamCmdForcePlatformBitness 64 inside steamcmd

I'm having an issue at the very end , when it's supposed to install the game it says that it requires a 64 bit system but I mean , the whole point of this tutorial is to emulate 64 bits right ?

After the command :
