Trying to get a docker-based dedicated server up

Hello,

I'm trying to get a dedicated server running on my Slackware server running Docker. My config seems to be correct and loading, but I'm running into an error that Steam isn't running.

Code:
steam@44a493586433:~/Steam/steamapps/common/7DaystoDieDedicatedServer$ ./startserver.sh -configfile=serverconfig.xml
Using config file: serverconfig.xml
eac_server.so [x64] :: OnLoad()
[s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 251570
It just hangs there, and the server is not running.

(I modified the original install directory because I was having issues reading the serverconfig.xml when the path had spaces.)

 
I have the same error message in both my docker and vanilla server deploys. For me it's benign though, server still boots as normal. It might be failing somewhere else for you guys.

 
I'm not using containers but I had this issue when I first deployed to alpha 17 using Linux. I couldn't find the fix so I've been hosting using Windows ever since.
