Yes, but you do this with the Variable in the 'Show More Settings' section of the Template.

 

Keep in mind that for every container the Game Port itself has to be set in the GAME_PORT variable like mentioned above.

 

 

This is the way you would do it (this is tested and working btw):

 

I have a question about this process. I'm trying to setup a second Valheim server. I installed a second copy of the Valheim container and set it up with different variables. I tried deleting the value from UDP - Game Port Range and added updated ports to the GAME_PORT section.  However, when the container starts, it's not remapping any ports at all. It's still trying to use the default 2456 range.

 

Next, I tried removing the UDP - Game Port Range section completely and added the ports in the GAME_PORT section. Now, no networking values are created.

 

What is the proper way to add a second server with this container?

Thanks ich777 for all the help you give to this community. I’ve got a question on how updates work. Valheim just received a massive patch this morning. Do you know when this will be reflected in the docket build? Will force update pull a new version? Or are updates handled internally via steam apps in the container? Thanks

Please look two posts above your post:

I've now restarted my Valheim server and it picked up the update just fine:

I can concur - my server updated successfully on its own as well. Now if I could just get the second one running 😃

Can you give me a screenshot from your template please?

 @deaerator if you enter the containers console and navigate to /serverdata/serverfiles/ShooterGame/Saved/Config are they there? From the containers console run 'ps axfww' to see the whole command line that got passed to ShooterGameServer, maybe there is an alternate dir specified?

Maybe try copying in one of the folders from another ark... then see if it loads settings from them.

I tried dropping in the linux folder with settings and it still didn't work

Oops, yes. Game successfully updated.

Restart the container, if it doesn't pick up the update give it a little time please.

On some systems it can take a few hours to actually pick up the update, don't know what's causing that, maybe try to restart your router/firewall and then try to restart the container.

If you run Unbound, PiHole, AdGuard or something like that in your network please try to restart these too.

 

You can also try to set Validat to 'true' but if you affected by this issue that it isn't picking up the update from Steam right away you have to wait...

Sounds great! Thanks for such a fast reply. I've been using your Valheim container for months and it's been amazing. Ty for all your hard work!

Like the post says, you have to click on "Show more settings ..." in the template then change the value from "2456" to something like "2466", then delete the entry "UDP - Game Port Range" entirely, then click on "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" from the drop down select "Port" at container port enter "2466-2468", at host port enter "2466-2468", at connection type select "UDP" from the drop down, click on "Add" and "Apply".

 

Now you have a server running on port 2466.

 

This is how the new entry should look like:

If I wanted to delete the old (pre Home and Hearth update) server world and start fresh, what's the best way to do that?

@deaeratortake one more look inside the container, you show /serverdata/serverfiles/ShooterGame/Config

instead of:

/serverdata/serverfiles/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

 

at this point I would be tempted to nuke it from orbit and spin up a fresh one.

 

rm -rf /mnt/cache/appdata/ark-se/ARK6-Valguero_P

 

then add a space or some other trivial change to the template to force the container to be delete and recreated.

Stop the container, delete the "valheim" folder that lives in your "appdata" directory and start the container again.

that's the same container as before...bd552e6a9928 & bd552e6a9928, stop the container, rm -rf /mnt/cache/appdata/ark-se/ARK6-Valguero_P, then edit the template and change "Extra Game Parameters:" by adding a space to the end of the line and press apply at the bottom of the page. that will delete the container and spin up a new one, the id at the console prompt should change.

 

If that does not do it see if the volume mappings are working, list the directory from both of its mount points, then touch a new file and list them again, if the new file is missing from the other mount point there might be some masking going on, if it is there then... something else...

I destroyed the first one long time ago thinking it was an error on my part, but this is the second docker container producing the same results.

I think I fixed this myself, root cause was user error. When I created the new port range, I didn't pick the right option in the drop-down menu - picked variable instead of port. Now the port redirection appears to be working properly.

Yes, this is exactly the part I missed. I didn't pick the correct Config Type on this step. When I recreated with Port configured, it worked great! Thanks for your response - much appreciated!

Please join @Spectral Force's Discord for support for my 7DtD container: https:// discord .gg/VwwYA5h

 

I personally don't own 7DtD and I really can't help with this container.

I ended up getting it working. It was oversight on my part. I didnt realize it installed to /mnt/cache/appdata/7dtd. Whenever i would edit the file it was putting it in /mnt/dockers/appdata/7dtd. All is well. Thanks for all your work on the gaming containers.

Is there a way to keep Steam from updating a particular dedicated game server container when an update for that game comes out?

Currently, this is specifically for ich777/steamcmd:7dtd, but also curious in general.

Not really easy since Steam also now implemented a authentification at their API...

What you can do is that you restart the container once a day so that it would automatically pick up the update.

 

You can do this by creating a user script and filling it with something like that:

docker restart 7DtD

(7DtD is actually the name from the container in this case)

Any chance of a dedicated server for Wreckfest?

 

Thanks!

The dedicated server is only available for Windows and I don't know if it's possible throug WINE.

I also don't own the game to try it.

Shame :~( Thanks for the reply though.

Is there any support for Rcon for Pavlov VR? Perhaps I'm unsure where to look for documentation for a specific game
