[Support] ich777 - Gameserver Dockers

[sage2050]

ich777, im having trouble getting your rcon plugin to connect to my palworld server. I can connect just fine with arrcon on windows

 

this error is returned

This is a known issue but if you use it like that it should work:

rcon -H SERVERIP -p 25575 -P YOURADMINPASSWORD info

 

You will get the same error but you can pair it with timeout like that to circumvent that (if you use timeout 1 it should also be enough) :

timeout 2 rcon -H SERVERIP -p 25575 -P YOURADMINPASSWORD info

[sage2050]

if i include my admin password i get

Invalid auth reply, valid password?

i assumed i should leave it blank

 

using timeout prevents the error, but it doesn't return a response either

Then you know that the password is wrong, are you sure that you are using the specified admin password?

 

It is working over here just fine:

[sage2050]

i am certain, like i said I was able to use rcon from the windows client. i even copy pasted from the config file to be sure.

[sage2050]

solved:

 

I had special characters in my password, notably it started with a "$". i think that probably broke it. changed to simple letters and it worked

Ah I tried double quotes and didn't think to try single. Thanks again!

I'm really not sure, please give me a bit and check back in this post in a few minutes, will try to spin up Valheim on my server real quick and edit this post.

 

EDIT: It is just working fine over here on a Intel i5-10600:

just thought i'd come back to this, 

after i enabled valheim plus / bepinex and found that log file - the game server is starting up. 

just seems it never feeds back into the main log files?

and on another note thank you for your work on all these containers

I thought the container was restarting...? At least I think I was asking if the container was stuck in a restart loop...

 

If it was not restarting it was most likely the case that it was started.

 

Yes that's a display issue that I can't do much about, sorry... Sometimes it shows and sometimes not.

Good morning ,

First of all thank you for all the work you do for the community.

I had a question regarding ram/processor usage for this docker.

For a Palword server of 4 people connected simultaneously, does 23GB of RAM seem abnormal?



 Unraid version : 6.12.6 - I5 : 6600K - MSI Z170-A PRO - 32 GiB DDR4

Nope, just search for "Palword Dedicated Server RAM usage", keep in mind this is a Early Access game and the developers maybe have to fix a few things in order that the server is running fine.

 

There are many workarounds out there for preventing this but I don't want to implement a workaround since this can cause corrupt saves and other funny bugs.

 

However I would recommend that you restart the container once a day to lower the usage but I assume if you build more and more on the map the RAM usage will go up and up like it was back in the day the same for Valheim.

 

You could also limit the amount of RAM the container can utilize but if it reaches that utilization it will crash and restart, which is similar like if you restart it but this could also lead to a corrupt save game.

I've limited it to 20GB and experienced a crash yesterday with seven players on the server but it restarted just fine and a little progress was lost.

any idea when enshrouded dedicated servers will be up on CA? i think it releases today

Hi. Can you make a docker for Enshrouded? The appid for the server is 2278520.

Thank you.

Hello,

 

I'm currently learning how to do servers like ich777 do. He made a wonderful job of doing all of this and it's something I wanted to learn for myself a long time ago but never took the time for it. I cannot vouch I'll do something as good or not, it will be my first dockers. Once I got something working, I'll ping back. Specially since it's currently Windows Only, that's another pain to do.

 

I also saw the game says owneronly, where I don't own the game. This will make it even more harder to do.

 

Before someone jump to the gun, my goal is not to compete with him, on the contrary, I'm communicating with him to learn. The goal is to give him more spare time and allow the community to have more server in the same way he is doing.

I can't get game dockers to work (Valheim and Zomboid) 

 

I am a noob so please be patient with the fact that I may be missing a simple concept. So I have attempted to install ich777's docker for Valheim and Project Zomboid with no luck. I think that the server is being created but something is wrong with my network configuration but I can't seem to figure it out.

 

I am able to connect to my Unraid Valheim server, but my friends are unable to. Zomboid isn't showing up at all. Both games are printing "server started" in the log file so I know that it is working to some extent.

 

I believe I've set up port forwarding correctly, but I could be wrong. Maybe the ports aren't communicating correctly with Unraid.

Most likely I keep seeing phrases related to the Steam API in my Zomboid log:

"[S_API FAIL] Tried to access Steam interface SteamNetworkingUtils004 before SteamAPI_Init succeeded."

"Loading Steam API...dlmopen steamservice.so failed: steamservice.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

 

Not sure what is happening. I have troubleshooted a few different network configurations, but I don't know where to start in terms of fixing Steam.

Thanks to any and all who respond :)

Is anyone else having this issue with Palworld? I was running the server fine the past two days. I shut it down overnight last night so that my Pals wouldn't get sick and now the server won't start up.

Did you forward the ports in your router/firewall, otherwise nobody is able to join.

Please also keep in mind that a public IP without CG-NAT is required for that to work.

Isn't that a windows only server app?

@Nodiaque That's great!  An overall blog tutorial and step-by-step process on creating Unraid docker containers would be super cool to publish on as you learn.  Especially if we can get an article pushed to the Unraid blog like a few other tutorials I've seen (like Valheim, etc).  I'd also love to take a crack at this myself in the future, and I'm sure others would love to contribute as well.

 

Any documentation or tutorials on making docker containers for Unraid that you can recommend @ich777?

Yes but you can run it in windows emulator like other game does. They did say that a linux version will become available later.

A tutorial is currently out of scope. How to create a container for unraid, there's already many post on that. Now the specific of the steam container ich777 created is a trial and error at each new container because each game is different.

 

He helped me understand how the container work specially since I never really worked with Docker to begin with (outside of using already available docker). I'm nearly done with the creation of the one I'm doing right now and well be ready to test with my friend who own the game.

I'm having a strange issue with my palworld server. All users report that they are unable to climb jump. When climbing, the player is teleported/falls to the bottom of the wall once they use the jump. I tested this over LAN and the issue persists. RTT 5-20ms, jitter less than 4ms. Any ideas? It feels like it must be a lag issue but 5-20ms seems reasonably low.

[AzumaDaigo]

Hello quick question, everytime I restart the container the permissions on the steamcmd folder and palworld folder in my appdata share reset to drwxrwx--- and I have to set them back to drwxrwxrwx for the container to work. This is probably solved very easily but I am still pretty new to unraid, so I was wondering how I could fix this.
