+* After all init scripts and services are created, run `find ./ -name run -exec chmod +x {} +; find ./ -name finish -exec chmod +x {} +` to fix permissions.
 * Edit this readme with pertinent info, delete these instructions.
 * Finally edit the `.github/workflows/BuildImage.yml`. Customize the build branch, and the vars for `BASEIMAGE` and `MODNAME`.
 * Ask the team to create a new branch named `<baseimagename>-<modname>`. Baseimage should be the name of the image the mod will be applied to. The new branch will be based on the `template` branch.
