@ich777 maybe I'm wrong but it seems something changed and the script now should use force_install_dir before the login, according to my logs:

 

Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
[33;1mPlease use force_install_dir before logon!

 

Also I'm getting this warning: Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found

This was reported before and I user force_install_dir in this exact command and I can't change anything about it displaying this message:

${STEAMCMD_DIR}/steamcmd.sh \
  +login anonymous \
  +force_install_dir ${SERVER_DIR} \
  +app_update ${GAME_ID} validate \
  +quit

As you can see from above this is all issued in one command and this is still the usual way of doing it (if I put force_install_dir before the login it changes nothing and the message still persists).

This warning was always there and you don't need Simple DirectMedia Layer in a dedicated server, at least I can't imagine why a container would need access to mouse, keyboard,... (https://www.libsdl.org/)

 

Is something not working for you?

Oh sorry, everything is working for me, I was just reporting the warnings I was seeing on the logs, I should've searched before posting my bad 😅

I cannot get 7dtd to go to experimental build no matter what I try, I tried full uninstall and reinstall of docker and everything.

Whatever version it is installing is not correct as the serverconfig file is what appears to be 19.6 version and not a20 (it lacks zombieferalsense line.

 

Docker config:

Please see a few posts above, you have to force validiation, but backup you configuration first if you do this.

 

May I ask if it shouldn't be:

-beta latest_experimental

I was doing that way of beta experimental the first 3 times i tried and it didn't work that's why I swapped to the other way. I switched back to the one you mentioned and it now works, thanks.

7Days to die "experimental" (how to)

 

Docker settings:

 

- GAME_ID: 294420 -beta latest_experimental

- Serverconfig: config.xml

- Validate Installation: true

 

In the tower/appdata/7dtd/ folder. Make a copy of the serverconfig.xml file and rename that file to config.xml

 

Edit the config file to what you need.

Restart the docker container, and you should be running A20.

 

Extra: (Custom maps)

To do this, you first need to create a map within the game itself.

- The newly generated map is located here: C:\Users\WindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds  (This path could be different on your system)

 

Copy the name of the folder (its called something random) to tower/appdata/7dtd/Data/Worlds/

 

Boot the server, and enjoy!

Hi there!

I'm getting a clean version of Neverwinter Nights server.. but it's giving me this error

 

--NWN:EE Dedicated Server not found, installing v8193.34!---
---NWN:EE Dedicated Server not found, installing v8193.34!---
---Something went wrong, can't download NWN:EE Dedicated Server, putting server in sleep mode---

 

is there something that needs to be updated? Thanks!

Greetings ich777!

 

Just an FYI, with your CSMM docker container.  They released a new version today for compatibility with A20 Experimental, but it looks like they changed some file naming which is breaking running the FORCE_UPDATE flag in the docker file.  They changed .env.example and have 2 versions now in the zip file, .env.example.docker and .env.example.host.  So you get an error that says .env.example cannot be found.  Not sure if there were other changes you need to address as far as dependency updates or anything like that though.  I just copied the .env.example.docker to .env.example and was able to continue the update fine.

For anyone running Don't Starve Together:

How is the performance?
What hardware are you running on?
Do you have caves enabled?

How is the CPU usage?

 

The reason why I'm asking is because I had DST running on a bare Ubuntu 18.04 install with caves and some server side mods and the process is running at 20% CPU usage while the server was EMPTY. The usage jumps up by 20% every time a person joins. When I have 3 people in the server, the CPU usage spikes up 90%. Any more after that and the game becomes unplayable. My wife was hosting it on her Windows 10 PC with a Ryzen 5 3600 and with the same amount of people, and no issues.

 

So right now, I'm just trying to see if it's worth running in a docker format.

I will look into this and will report back.

Maybe the developers changed something again.

Give it a try I think, I've only run the server for a week but with two players on it it used only a little of CPU and when it was empty it idled between 0 to 2% CPU usage (back then I was using a Xeon 2670 v1 - keep in mind this is a old CPU).

FORCE_UPDATE

Container is now fixed, please force an update from the container itself and enable FORCE_UPDATE, here is a little bit from my log:

 

[worker] > [email protected] start:worker /csmm-7dtd/CSMM
[worker] > node worker/worker.js


[app] CSMM version: 1.27.0
[app] No Discord client ID and/or client secret given in dotenv. Discarding Discord passport configuration
[worker] No Discord client ID and/or client secret given in dotenv. Discarding Discord passport configuration

@ich777 Hi Ich thanks for taking your time responding. 

i have just reset the config, back to what is default: 

here you can see what im using in the pfsense settings.

 

tbh. i'm at a loss what to do with this one. the other ports doesnt work either? as i told earlier, the minecraft container from binhex works just fine when i portforward from that. 

i have tested if i can locally connect to the server, and that is not an issue.

What do you mean with forward you mean translate them into another port?

If you are talking about translating it to another port then I explained it here why this won't work with some game servers:

 

Keep in mind the Minecraft container from me or from @binhex or from anybody else will also work if you translate them into another port because Minecraft has only a game port and not relies on such mechanisms with a query port, but this is not the case for this container.

You need to also create the forward rules for the query port and the beacon port, because these ports work all hand in hand.

I'm not translating any ports, im just NAT'in the ports 1:1 eg: 7777 -> 7777

as you can see in this picture:  i have also tried and scanning my port again, and still no dice.  even the query port? im not getting any life on that port either.

This is just normal that these ports are not answering.

They aren't using standard protocols and doesn't answer to normal (http) query requests.

 

From your pfSense config I can see that the Beacon Port uses TCP but it uses actually UDP.

 

Do you try to connect from your LAN to the server over your public IP or do you try it from outside?

Can you see the server in the Steam Server Browser?

What a coincidence, I have the exact same CPU! 

 

I guess I'll give it a shot. Thanks for putting this thread together btw!

Watchtower updated the container image last night and was able to successfully start up the container.  I have the FORCE_UPDATE flag set to true in my docker-compose.xml, so it all looks good now.

 

Thanks again ich777!  You do excellent work!

FORCE_UPDATE

But don't forget to unset this value again because otherwise it will always download and reinstall the application on container start/restart.

7dtd Works like normal now, thx @ich777 . A heads up for others, big maps "rwg" have problems with generation atm so I would stay away from anything bigger then 10k for now 

I reccomend generating it on your local machine and uploading it to the server.
