Sorry, but I really can't help here since I've never had set up an ARK cluster or even played ARK long enough to know what you are talking about...

thats ok, ill keep banging my head against it! and ill post if i get a solution in case anyone else comes across the same problem!

Just posting this so anyone who can help can see what im dealing with. It is really confusing

I've been having issues with the 7dtd server and access the web control panel.  The default port is 8080 which conflicts with another docker so I changed the docker settings to 8081.  I can access the web UI on 8081, but it kicks me out after maybe 2-3 minutes.  Sometimes it also kicks me out and I have to log in again when I try to issues commands.

 

I also posted in the Discord to see if they know anything about it.

 

Any idea what might be going on?

Maybe there is a safety timeout that the WebUI is logging you out, that's my best guess.

But it shouldn't be related to the port change that you've done in the template from port 8080 to 8081.

So i got it figured out. I have to be on a VPN in order to see my cluster. I really dont know why though, but i remember the issue before with ark and running servers in network. Basically if anyone has issues seeing their server or cluster, try using a vpn and see if it shows up.

Hello, It's been a long time since my last feedback. Is there any advice to fix this problem? (Still can't start the server normally with cleanup start)

I've just started a l4d2 server for me and my friends to play versus with addons and everything seems to be working right.

Some troubleshooting things I did was under startup parameters I put "-netconport 9000" so that I can use "telnet DOCKERLOCALIPHERE 9000" to access a terminal without relying on the logs. From there I can use commands like "status" and "map c2m1_highway versus" to change maps and gamemode. You can also view set variables and things there with the help command. I'm not sure how you've configured the server but there are some older guides in the Steam community that still worked for me. Hope this helps a little

I'm not really the guy that can help with ARK but maybe @Cyd can help, I've seen a few people in this thread running a Cluster that consists of 6 containers.

The second recommended post should help or am I wrong... at least the linked Github from @Cyd should shed some light on it.

 

Don't know if anyone made a video on that, if not maybe @Sycotix can help with that...

Thanks for the tag! haha. I'll take a look!

Do you have other services exposed to the internet without a VPN or just this cluster?

Maybe your ISP uses a hidden NAT, that would explain why it doesn't work.

I'm experience an issue attempting to get Conan Exiles up and running. I left the container configuration the same except I changed /mnt/cache/appdata to /mnt/user/appdata.  I've attempted with and without Workshop mod IDs and I get the same error.

The game seems to download correctly, then I see this:

A couple hundred of the yellow lines warning me of time mounting Pak files....

 

Then finally it hits a fatal error, dies, then the process restarts again.  I have to kill the container manually.

I would recommend to start over again with a completely fresh install from the game.

1. Delete the container
2. Delete the conanexiles folder from your appdata directory
3. Pull a fresh copy from the CA App

 

Do you have no cache drive installed or why did you changed the path? If you've got no cache drive, please make sure that the game files are not spread across multiple disks, even better would be that you point to the disk where the files are like '/mnt/disk3/appdata/...' because some game servers doesn't like it when you use the FUSE path '/mnt/user/...' and they simply crash, but this should not be the case for ConanExiles.

 

On what unRAID version are you?

 

I can't reproduce this on my server, here is the log from a fresh pulled container from the CA App: conanexiles.log

And here a screenshot form the Steam Server Browser where you can see that the container is running and reachable:

I do have a cache pool. Two NVME drives in mirrored configuration.

I changed the path only because I figured it didn't make a difference and I wanted it to be consistent.  It ends up in the same location, I was unaware that the user path can cause issues for games.  I'm new to unraid and have only had this system up and running for a couple of days, so learning experience here.

I'm running 6.10.0 rc2 as I am on an i5 12600k with a MSI Pro Z690 DDR4 board and I was following some of the advice in this thread:

I currently only have one disk in the array and one parity disk - both 10gb.  So file splitting shouldn't be an issue yet.

I will try it from scratch using the /mnt/cache path and report back.

Edit: I followed your suggestion and am getting the same error. I deleted the container and removed both the steamcmd and conanexiles directory from appdata.  Then I reinstalled the container from CA and I left the path as /mnt/cache.  Might be due to the 12th gen issues with the 5.14 kernel not fully supporting it.

I don't think that this is related to 12th Gen since it supports the same instructions (plus a little more) than my 10th Gen i5-10600.

Also make sure that your appdata share is set to use cache "Only" or "Prefer" in the Share settings.

 

This seems very strange to me since I run 6.10.0-rc series and it works without a hitch on my Server.

 

5 hours ago, Earendur said:

I think you mean 10TB

Yes 10TB

Yes the appdata pool is set to Prefer Cache.  I've got the minecraft basic server up and running with the same /mnt/cache/ path and no issues. I was even able to install fabric loader and several mods to it without issue.  This conan exiles one has me stumped though.

I'm not even sure what this invalid frame error means.  That seems to be where it fails.

call_stack_handlers invalid frame 99a3174 (0x132000-0x600000)\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2022-01-10T00:58:52.643899651Z"}

I've pulled the docker log for the container if it'll help at all.  conanexiles.log 

 

Is there any other things I might be able to try? I've never run a memtest on this machine but I haven't had any issues since I disabled HDR mapping in Plex (which was causing the server to crash). I'm not sure this error is a memory error though as I would expect it to cause issues outside of just this docker container if it was.

Worst case I just end up installing a Windows server VM and run the conan server there.  That's how I have it configured on a Dell R510 I've built this unraid box to replace.

This is just an error from WINE.

 

It may be related to your 12th Gen CPU but I really don't think so.

 

I've now updated the container to Debian Bullseye and made another few improvements, can you try once more to start over like mentioned above.

It should work right out of the box, I tried it now on my test system too which is on 6.9.2 and it works just fine.

I'm having an issue that is really hard to figure it out. I have a 7 days to die server up and running, NAT port forwarding is properly set-up and working fine, everyone can join and see the public server on the server list.

 

The issue happens very randomly, out of the blue the game query port stops responding to queries and thus the server stops showing up on the server list, all of this without any changes at all on my side.

 

Restarting the docker image doesn't solve it, nothing seems to solve this besides me changing the port to another port (which eventually this happens again and I have to change to another port).

Did you translate the port to another port lets say from 27015 to 27016 UDP?

 

What port is it which you are having issues?

No. Like I said everything works doesn't matter what port I choose. At first I was using the default port (26900) and that was working just fine, but after like 3 days it stopped working and I had to change to 26901 (I mapped the correct ports on docker). 

 

After couple of weeks without any problem, today it stopped working and I changed back to port 26900 and now its working again.

 

It feels like there's a sort of firewall flagging something and blocking the port, but I don't have any firewalls (from router to unraid), so I don't understand this issue and its hard to diagnose

I have been working on reading through the forums for quite a bit here and can't seem to find the answer.  Can someone point me in the right direction for a single Ark server.  I see the stickied Cluster info.  

I can see my server and connect to it locally no problem but my friend cannot connect externally.

 

1.   What are the specific ports to be forwarded and connection type?

2.  How should a friend be trying to connect to my game from steam?

3.  Can i test my own connect-ability by adding my external IP address and a port to my server list on steam (clicking view, then servers, then adding it by my external ip and port? 7777? 27015?

 

The ports i have forwarded at this time after reading the forums are 7777,7778,27015 UDP only, and 27020 TCIP.  But i did leave in 27016 UDP only.

 

Why is IppoKun talking about 26900?  in the post above, did i completely miss that port?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is clearly spelled out in this thread already?

This is a really strange issue, maybe that's related to your ISP or Router?

The container also doesn't have a firewall and it seems really strange to me what happens there, have you tried to restart your modem/router?

The ports that you see in the template otherwise the container won't work in your local network (the RCON port is optional):

Either trough your public IP, domain name or on the server list (keep in mind if you try to connect through the in game server list all check boxes and options have to be checked correctly, otherwise your server won't be displayed in the list).

Yes with an if...

If your NAT reflection is working properly you can do that, otherwise you won't be able to connect internally to your public IP.

 

It would be better to create a hotspot with your mobile phone connect a laptop or another computer to that and try if you can get a connection through the Steam Server Browser (if you try it through the Steam Server browser your should use YOURpublicIP:27015).

Thanks..  I need to try 7daystodie -  but today i will stick with ARK..  

 

I am sorry, what checkboxes and options, on the unraid container? I don't understand what you mean?

Sorry should be clearer, not on unRAID, in the game itself, there are so many options and check boxes in the game itself that if you miss one of them or set one false your game won't show up in the in game server list.

Are you sure that your ISP is not blocking any ports or you are behind a NAT from your ISP?

Do you have other services exposed to the internet?

Having the same issue unfortunately. 



It may or may not be related but I'm having a crashing issue.  Inexplicably unraid seems to crash, no errors are displayed on the monitor connected to the unraid box but it seems to lose its IP address and disappears from the network.

I don't want to derail from the core of this thread though.  I've tried disabling XMP, I disabled HDR in plex, etc., but same issue. I'm going to see if i can solve the crashing issue before I dig more into why this container isn't working. I'm going to update the mobo BIOS and run a memtest tonight.  I might even run an NVME SSD test that the motherboard has.

Thanks for your help! I'll come back here if I ever solve this crashing issue.

Disregard the question , i think i understand now (you mean the 4 checkboxes at bottom left of join server dialog)  Thanks for your patience.

Have you tried since then to install the container, of course wipe it before completely:

Delete the contianer

Delete the l4d2 folder from your appdata directory

Pull a fresh copy from the CA App

 

On what unRAID version are you?

Have you installed a Cache driver if yes, make sure that the appdata directory is set to use cache "Only" or "Prefer" in the Share settings. If you don't have a Cache drive make sure to point it at the right disk where your appdata directory is located and also make sure that the files aren't split over multiple directories.

Also make sure to not set the game directory to a path like /mnt/user/appdata/... it always needs to know where the files are located physically, so to speak: /mnt/cache/appdata/... or /mnt/disk1/appdata/...

 

Here is the log from a fresh pulled container from the CA App: l4d2.log

 

When I create a new share directory named "GameServer" with cache setting "No", the server command seems run normallly.
