Symptoms Container keeps restarting with segmentation faults or config errors.

Cause Mounting custom ircd.yaml before first run, or incomplete config file.

Fix

1. Remove custom ircd.yaml mount from docker-compose.yml
2. Stop containers: docker compose stop folkzone-irc-ergo folkzone-irc-lounge
3. Delete the data volume: docker volume rm server_folkzone_irc_ergo_data
4. Restart with default config: docker compose up -d folkzone-irc-ergo folkzone-irc-lounge
5. Follow [[folkzone:services:irc:setup|Setup Process]] for proper customization

Prevention Always let Ergo generate default config on first run before customizing. See Setup Process.
