[Support] ich777 - Gameserver Dockers

[furtive]

Hello

I've installed the Assetto Corsa gameserver docker on my Unraid server using a new dedicated Steam account, and have forwarded ports on my router. I can see all of the game and files in the appdata share.

 

Now what? There is no web interface as part of the docker, so how do I configure the server?

 

Thanks.

It's not different to a basic dedicated server on a root server.

Start here at the Configuration section: Click

Please change the path from '/mnt/user/...' to '/mnt/cache/...'

I think this should solve your problem.

Great, many thanks all sorted now. It might be worth adding a link to the WebUI from the Docker container?

Don't understand what you mean exactly.

 

Have you enabled Stacker? If so, this is optional and also the description says how to connect to it.

Some people only configure it over the config files and the WebUI isn't necessary by default, that's why it's not in there.

[furtive]

Other Docker apps have a WebUI option under the menu (see attached image). I just thought it would be useful to have a link to the Assetto Corsa Server WebUI (serverIP:8772) so you can access it directly from the Docker image. I had to try and figure out how to access it once I had installed the Docker image.

 

I don't have Stacker enabled.

I don't have Stacker enabled.

I did this by intention because there are two interfaces that are more or less "mods", I enabled Assetto-Server-Manager by default, this was done by accident, will change this in the template...

 

Most people prefer Stacker over Assetto-Server-Manager.

Thank's a lot ich77

 

But can you explain me why if /mnt/user/ doesn't work and /mnt/cache does?

all my other container are in /mnt/user/.

A few applications gameservers need the physical path where the application and the files for the application are and not the "virtual" path.

 

For example TeamFortress2 and GarrysMod are the same and needs the path to the physical location.

That's why I put always the '/mnt/cache' path in my templates to the gamefiles and the '/mnt/user' path for SteamCMD because SteamCMD doesn't need the physical path to the files because it only downloads the files or checks for updates.

 

Even if you install the container you see that the CA App actually fills depending if you own a cache drive or not the physical path to your appdata directory:

 

If you are using a UnassignedDevices disk the path is for example '/mnt/disks/DISKNAME/SHARENAME' or if it's located on the array then the path has to be '/mnt/disk2/SHARENAME' (the array path is dependent on the disk where the files are but keep in mind that if someone uses it on the array the files can't be split over multiple disks!)

 

 

Also some other Containers are in the CA App that needs also the physical path that are not from me, this is completely application dependent.

 

Hope that makes sense to you.

Hi again. Thanks for all of your support. Because of your message above, I removed the Docker image and deleted everything and reinstalled it to replace Server Manager with Stracker. However I am not able to connect to the Stracker UI via port 50041. Looking at the logs, everything is ok on startup, and this is the only message I am getting that indicates there may be a problem:

 

"tail: cannot open '/serverdata/serverfiles/stracker.log' for reading: No such file or directory"

 

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

You are doing nothing worng but the container does, please delete one more time the container and also the directory for AssetoCorsa in your appdata directory and redownload it from the CA App.

 

I've now updated the container, one download points to the wrong place...

Sorry for that and thank you that you brought that up.

[furtive]

Great, it's working now. Many thanks

For anyone looking for help with running the 7 Days to Die server container or the 7DTD-CSMM container, you can join my discord community for 7DTD server owners and admins.  https://discord.gg/VwwYA5h  This is the best way to get a hold of me, I don't always see the PM's from the forum here.

Heya!

I sadly have a problem with the MinecraftBasicServer that i dont get fixed.

 

Starting the server the first time gives me an error (first picture). I dont know what this means really? There is nothing there on the server, so should i install something there?

 

After i convert the server to a forge one i get this start error (second pic). I tried getting into the console through the screen but it says that there are no screens for this docker( i used "docker exec -u minecraft -ti Mods screen -xS Minecraft"). If i put the "-Dfml.queryResult=confirm" into the start parameter, it doesnt help and still shows this error.

Could somebody help me please with that?

Thank you!

Have you eventually shut the container down or restarted it on the very first start, because this looks not like the really first start, you have to wait at the very first a little longer since it downloads the runtime.

Please try to delete the folder 'runtime' in your minecraftbasicserver folder.

Where did you put this command in?

 

It seems also that you have mods already added...

The log says something or better speaking that a dependencie or something in your savegame is missing (keep in mind there are different versions for windows and linux out there) and that you have to confirm that.

I will reinstall it then and try that. Maybe there is my error.

EDIT: i tried to delete that folder but it reappears instantly?

In Extra Game Parameters and then Extra JVM Parameters to test which works.

I put in my backup from my old server so it would start the old world on the new server. Thats why mods and a save is already in.

Stop the container and try to delete it and then to start it up again then it should say that the runtime isn't found and it will redownload it.

Is this also a Linux machine?

Try for troubleshooting reasons to delete the savegame for now then this issue should be resolved.

 

Sorry can't test it until tomorrow evening, weekend is family time for me... Eventually I find some spare time then I will respond earlier.

The docker was removed and i cant delete it.

I now installed it in a different instalationpath. This worked perfectly now!

Yes it is/was.

Okay, i will do that.

No worries please. Its just a game and not a life relevant service or so

Have fun!

@Kurtchen Can you eventually send me the server as a zip archive from your previous machen so that I can try it on my own?

Eventually write me a short private message.

If you dont mind. The Problem is solved now!

Used another folder path to install the docker and now i can connect to the screen and everything. runtime was installed propperly and the forge server runs now too. Since i could connect to the screen, i could put in the command per hand.

Thank you very much!
Even though it was just my stupidity

Nice, glad to hear that it works now.

Have you installed a cache drive in your server?

Where is your appdata folder located?

I will look into it after the weekend.

 Thank you

I have a separate cache pool that is exclusively for Docker containers, the appdata is:

/mnt/docker/appdata
/mnt/docker/appdata/atlas
/mnt/docker/appdata/atlas/steamcmd
