[Support] ich777 - Gameserver Dockers

[Reapergrrimm]

 Just like any game server,  I let it run for the first time for 10-15 minutes to generate the world and whatever else it needs to do,  stop the container to make the necessary changes,  then restart the container.  Validation is disabled although I did try running it to see if it would help.

I have no issue using it with OPNsense, just tried it with 2 friends on my server and everything is working as expected.

Pfsense

Did you make sure that the share where the game files are stays on the same disk as the path that you've specified in the container template?

I'm using OPNsense and I have no issues whatsoever.

I've stopped using PFsense a while back because I've also had some trouble back then.

Hey Ich777, 

Been having some errors with the ark survival evolved docker container. Any idea how to fix it?

It seems that the container fails to download the game server files, do you have any AdBlocking software or a custom DNS server set up?

Thanks for leading me in the right direction.  I found out the files are being split between the cache and drive 3 drives which shouldn't happen. I have the share set for array only with mover disabled because my cache drive is currently on the frizz.  Either way, I was finding the engine.ini file in both locations so I imagine I was editing one while the game was pulling the info from the other

That's what I thought two post before...

You can also set the path to /mnt/user/... instead of /mnt/cache/... in the template but my recommendation would be to set it always to the real file path instead of /mnt/user/... at least for game servers (some won't even run if you use /mnt/user/...)

Thanks for the advice

Thank you for the report.

Please update the container itself by clicking "force update" (with the Advanced View enabled in the top right corner, don't forget it to disable it again after updating it), the container is now fixed and is working again.

That solution fixed it for a bit. Dayz updated to 1.22 and it has thrown something off again. Whenever I try to join the server, the docker crashes. Any suggestions? TYIA

Too less information that I can say anything.

Where is the logfile, with which line did it crash?

Seems to be a known issue:

There is nothing I can do about that until the developers solved that.

Hi guys I just installed American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server in a Docker on Unraid.

 

My problem it keeps saying Invalid server version when i find it on the Convoy server list

How do I update the server?

Please read the description from the container.

This is most likely caused because the developers haven't update the dedciated server yet if there was a recent released update.

 

Are you sure that your game on your local PC is up to date? If you just installed the container it will always pull the latest version from Steam Pipe.

Do you have any AdBlocking or special DNS servers in place which are maybe preventing it from pulling the latest version?

Nothing blocked.

 

Yes the game on this machine i'm typing from is the current version,Unraid and docker is on my server a room away.  All ports are open.

I would strongly report that on the ATS Forums since it seems that all servers except for a few are outdated, simply look at the server list.

 

My assumption is that the few ones which are working are actually Windows and not Linux servers.

Hey itch, Vintage Story is switching to .net7 going forward for their game which breaks the container as mono no longer works. Currently it's an unstable release. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you

Thank you for the heads up!

Will look into that later today.

 

EDIT: Please update the container itself, the container supports now both the .net7 version and mono version.

[NoPantsMcDance]

Wow didn't expect such a quick update. Thanks!

I think this would be better suited in the support thread from the maintainer who is releasing the Minecraft modpack containers and not here in my support thread.

 

However you should be able to set up nearly every modded Minecraft server with my MinecraftBasicServer but I can‘t help how since I‘m not familiar with Forge…

I feel like I must be missing something really basic here, but I'm trying to get the 7DaysToDie server running. It starts, everything is great, but if I edit serverconfig.xml and the restart the docker container then the file gets overwritten back to the generic default.

 

Am I not supposed to be editing the serverconfig.xml directly? Do I need to mark it read-only after making changes?

 

I just know I'm missing something obvious.

Did you stop the container in the first place before editing the config file?

Or do you have enabled validate installation, if yes disable it, the validation will always overwrite the file named serverconfig.xml <- validation is only meant if you have issues and the container won't pull the update.

 

I would also recommend that you copy the default serverconfig.xml and rename it to something different and then specify the name in the template like that:

 

EDIT: Please also consider joining @Spectral Force's Discord since he helps me out with 7DtD support because I'm not that familiar with that game: https://discord.gg/VwwYA5h

[Aractor]

Thanks @ich777!

 

I knew I was doing something basic wrong, and I definitely had validate installed flagged true. I cleared that, set my own config file, and now everything is working great.
