Sorry if this has been asked and answered a dozen time already but how do I update the version of Ark being run?  I thought that a docker restart would do it automatically but the log (pasted below) says it's the latest version but the server list in game and on steam shows I'm not on the current version after Official servers were just updated to a new minor version.

Do you run any AdBlocking software on your network?
Plese try again to restart the container in a few hours, some users report such an issue but is solved automatically whem they try it again after a few hours.
Don't know the exact reason and why some users are affected by this and some not.

Sorry if this has been posted before.  Wondering if anyone has been able to get Minecraft Forge 1.17.1 working with the MinecraftBasicServer docker in order to play with mods.  If so, would like to know what I need to do to get it working.

 

So far this is what I have tried.

I have installed the docker and let it run through the initial setup.  I then downloaded the Forge 1.17.1 installer and ran the server installer. I just installed it to a temporary folder on my desktop.  I then copied all those files over to where the minecraftbasicserver files are and set the Serverfile name to "forge-1.17.1-37.0.107-server".  This server jar file is buried in the "\libraries\net\minecraftforge\forge\1.17.1-37.0.107" folder.  I tried to just copy this jar file into the root of the minecraft server data folder (where the original server.jar file is) thinking that would work but the server never actually starts. Just get "waiting for logs, please stand by..." and then just keeps looping through the below log output.

Any hep would be greatly appreciated.

I've set validate to True but it still didn't seem to update the base game.  Are there some files I can remove to force it to reload without removing the entire container?

 

 

After a few more tries I was able to get it to verify but it is still showing on the server list at the old version and the version.txt file in the ark-se folder also lists the old version.

Please answer the question from above, have you any AdBlocking software somewhere in your network installed or something like Unbound?

 

If you remove the container that will change nothing, you will have to remove the entire game to actually pull a new update.

Also don't forget to unset force update because this will make the game start times much more slower.

 

I think it's some kind of network related issue, otherwise more people would have this issue.

 

Have you yet checked if your client ARK version is up to date? Maybe try to also validate the game files.

I think that's caused because Forge needs a lower Java version (I think it is 11) than the vanilla Minecraft server (uses 16), you can change the version by simply changing the value in the template:

 

If you already got a running instance of the container do the following:

1. Stop the container
2. Go to the minecraft folder that lives in your appdata directory
3. Delete the folder "runtime"
4. Go to the template, click "Show more settings ..." and change the value from the screenshot above
5. Start the container

 

Every time you change the Java version version you need to remove the "runtime" folder.

Sorry, missed this part.  I do run Pi-hole but disabled it to restart the server.  I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I am running a mod map (Alemia).

Try to disable it for at least 30 minutes and then try to restart thr container once more please.
What you also can try is to restart thr host itself.

I'm really not too familiar with modding ARK maybe @Cyd has a clue.

Thank you for the quick response.  I followed the steps but the server still does not start.  I tried jre11 and jre15, also for the Game Version I left blank originally but now changed it to "custom" so I am seeing a difference in the log output regarding the jar file but the server still terminates.

From what I see in the logs it once failed to start but after the failed start it looks like it started up properly.
I'm not too familiar with Forge because it gave me serious problems in the past so I switched over to Bukkit/Spigot.

Maybe you need the basicjre (JRE8) in the template? I'm really not to sure...

I have installed the Terraria Docker and we started playing it, but we can't figure out how to create worlds. It automatically creates a world but we want to be able to select whether we have corruption or crimson and the size of the world. Is that possible in the Docker?

Create a world on your local computer and name it "world", after that start up the Container once (let it fully start), then stop the Container, delete all the files that are in the "Worlds" folder, place the world that you've created on your local computer to the Worlds folder (make sure that it is named "world.wld") and start the container again, you should be now running the world that you've created.

 

Sadly enough there is no easier solution to this currently...

I just created a new world and that worked perfectly. 

 

I did also find a small problem. Everytime I restart the Docker, it resets the world password. We use the same password for all other games that we host so it would be nice if we could use that same password for Terraria. Do you know why it resets that at every reboot?

 

We also want to run multiple worlds. I have downloaded your other Docker "Terraria-Tshock". I thought that it would be a seperate instance of the game and told it to run on port 7778 instead of 7777 wich the Terraria Docker runs on. But when I go to the WebGUI of the Terraria-Tshock, it shows me that the server runs on port 7777. Do you know if I can run the Tshock version on port 7778 so I can have 2 seperate Terraria worlds going?

Here is a screenshot of the working Terraria server. This is the server that we want to use for normal gaming (for some reason I can't paste screenshots, so I have to put them in Paint first):

I can't seem to get the image to appear here. It is the first screenshot under the text. 

 

I have set the password by going into the webGui and setting it there. It does work because we need to use the password I set there to login the server. 

 

Here is a screenshot of the second server. This is the one where we want mods:

See second screenshot.

 

As you can see, I have set the port in the config to use 7778. But if I go into the webGui of that Docker:

See third screenshot.

That does not work on the server side of things. Stop the container and then you have to go in the main directory from the game server and there you will find a file called "serverconfig.txt", open it up and search for this line and edit it:

Save the file and start the container again.

That's pretty nomal since you only edit the port number in the template, you have to go again in the game directory and edit the "serverconfig.txt", of course I would recommend that you first stop the container and then search for this line and edit it:

Save the file, then go to your container template, remove the entry for the port number, click on "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" from the drop down select "Port" at Container and Host Port set it to both the same number that you've entered in the "serveconfig.txt" file like this:

Click on "Add" and "Apply" in the template now you should be able to connect to port number 7778.

I have no idea why I couldn't past pictures before but it works now. 

 

I have edited the files and now the passwords are correct, and I have 2 worlds running at the same time. Thanks a lot for your help!

Glad to hear that everything is working now.

Just wanted to chime in and say great work. Thank you so much for what you do!

Sali, first of all, I'll tell you that it's great work you do for us. At the moment, 8 people enjoy your work for satisfactory and valheim. But now my question? How the hell do I manage that the satisfactory server leaves more than four clients. I know what I have to enter in the Game.ini and where the config is. But it is deleted from the file every time it is restarted to apply. I don't know if the question has already been asked. I've been searching the thread and others for a while. And unfortunately nothing found directly. @ich777

Have you set "Validate Installation" to "true" like in this screenshot:

 

If yes, please remove it, that's the only reason why I can imagine the file gets overwritten.

 

You've also mentioned you've know what to do but just in case, here is the documentation, it mentions that it needs to bee added on top of the file.

So currently trying to get FiveM ported over to unraid via docker from my old VM based one on my VMWare box. I ran the setup and got everything going but for some reason I do a port scan on the bridged interface on my desktop via my local network and I  can't see the ports being opened. 

 

Pretty unfamiliar with Docker so any assistance would be appreciated. I will note other Docker services show up just fine. I also can't connect via FiveM's Client. Doesn't even put an entry in the list.
