OK so to answer my own previous question basically I'm stupid, I hadn't set ownership to my user account, so Linuxcnc couldn't write to the var file, and most likely create it in the first place, which is why it was missing.
I had thought I'd done it but obviously I hadn't or maybe did a typo at the time. I followed the Docker install instructions as per the wiki instructions if anybody else is having the same issue.
Big thanks to Meister for creating this and thanks to everybody else supporting.
