Space Engineers Server Hangs on both Update and Start

OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 22.04

Product Name/Version: AMP 2.4.3.6 - Space Engineers Module

Problem Description:
My Space Engineers server is successfully installing, but then hangs infinitely on “step 9/9 - running update executable”.

In addition, when I try to run the application, it gives the output below, terminating in an “Exit code 123”.

Any idea how to fix this? I already installed Wine.

Steps to reproduce:

Create new SE module
Change Space Engineers gameplay settings
Click ‘Update’

===================

Update: I am now using a Docker container to try to run this instance. When I go to start the server, it looks like it starts up, but then I try to manage it and it says it’s not running. I also get this in the log:

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

I’m not quite sure as to what the changing the listening ports/addresses would fix in terms of update / startup, although it does have an impact on player connections.

Your AMP is ridiculously out of date, and the chances of getting SE to run on ARM are vanishingly small (it barely runs on x64 atm, and needs a fix to AMP’s docker image to do so). AMP also doesn’t have any official ARM docker images

I am also having issues getting Space Engineers to start even on a completely fresh OS. My console log just shows the server start up and then, without any message that the server crashed, AMP tries starting it up again which throws an error message that the server port is in use (because it is). Is there a way we can get more data logging than the console log so that I can track down what is going on?
