Seems like it can't grab SteamCMD, can you please try to remove the steamcmd folder from your appdata directory?

 

Have you any custom permissions in place on your system?

 

Do you have any AdBlocker on your network that maybe prevent the container from puling down this file: Click

Well, how about that. I thought I had my server in the proper firewall group and I did not. Once I dropped it in where it belongs the docker now is pulling down the files. Thank you! I just needed another pair of eyes on this.

Is there a Docker for the Miscreated game server? https://miscreatedgame.com/

From what I saw from a quick research no: Click

 

It also mentions that only Windows is supported on the SteamDB and I can't find a Dedicated Server app there: Click

Hi! Don't know if this is the right place for suggestions but it would be cool if we could keep Valheim's world backups for different time ranges, like an hourly, a daily, a weekly and/or a monthly backup. I personally like to backup often like hourly but also be able to recover an older one in case we want to roll back to an earlier state, but the way you setup the server now you have to overwrite older backups if you make a new one every hour or so.

a daily, a weekly

This is theoretically possible.

That is not entirely true, the old backups get deleted after a specified amount of found backups.

 

See this example in the default template:

 

It backs up every 62 minutes and keeps the last 24 backups, however you can set the "Backups to keep" to 720 for example than you have a backup from the last 30 days, of course if the server is running all the time (keep in mind if you keep that much backups and do the math, for 720 backups with about 5MB you will be using around 3.6GB of space only for backups).

 

 

Just to give you a little background information, I won't change the way how backups are done since I've introduced this feature when the "World Destroy Bug" was around where it was often happening that the world was wiped after restarting the server, this was a general issue from Valheim.

I even thought about removing this feature...

 

However you can put a simple User Script together based on a cron schedule that pulls the latest found backup to another directory if you want too.

 

Hope that helps and explains how to use it or better speaking how it works.

Thanks for your response! Yeah I understand that it keeps a certain amount of backups, I worded it incorrectly, sorry, English is not my first language and I'm not a very technical user so I wasn't sure how to explain my request. The main issue is exactly what you mention about how if we want to keep more backups they would start taking up multiple GBs of disk space.

 

I suffered from the "world destroy bug" a while ago (not using this container but a LinuxGSM installation) and that's why I thought most users might want to have access to a quick solution for backing up their worlds in different time intervals, but of course it should be up to us to decide how to handle this, I'll probably setup a script like you suggested.

 

Again thanks for your response, and for all your hard work!

Maybe you can let it as it is that it takes a backup every hour and keep them for about 48 hours and every 24 hours or so you back up the latest backup to another folder on your server, this would be the easiest solution.

 

This script should do the job just fine, let it run once daily and it will only save the last backup that it finds in the Backups folder from Valheim:

#!/bin/bash
VALHEIM_BKP_PATH="/mnt/cache/appdata/valheim/Backups"
BKP_PATH="/mnt/user/Backup/ValheimBackups"

cp ${VALHEIM_BKP_PATH}/$(ls -1 ${VALHEIM_BKP_PATH}/ | sort -V | tail -1) ${BKP_PATH}

 

You only have to customize the VALHEIM_BKP_PATH (this is the folder where the Backups from the container are located which are created by the container automatically) and the BKP_PATH (this is the folder which it copies the Backups to).

 

Hope that helps.

I am having issues running the Insurgency Game Server Docker. It seems to have installed correctly. I can get it to run. I have created a "server.cfg" file in which I have named the server, password, etc, and placed it in the appropriate folder ( ..appdata/insurgency/insurgency/cfg/), however, when i start the game in Steam and go looking for the server I created, it does not show up anywhere. The log file seems there might be an issue with running Steam: "[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so." 
I have included the entire log as an attachment. 
Am I missing a step?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Insurgency

Are we talking about Insurgency or Insurgency Sandstorm?

 

If we are talking about Insurgency it is working fine over here: Insurgency.txt

 

On what Unraid version are you? Have you changed anything? Does it work without changing anything?

It's Insurgency (not Insurgency Sandstorm).

I am on Unraid version 6.10.3
No changes were made during the setup.  
I can start the docker and it shows as started.

Could it be an issue with the server.cfg file?  (Please find attached)

Can you browse it through the Steam Server Browser?

Sure but I‘m not too familiar with Insurgency…

 

I would recommend that you start over by, deleting the container, deleting the folder for insurgency in your appdat- directory and pull a fresh copy from the CA App an wait for the download to finish and see if it loops again, if not the it‘s the server.cfg

 

Do you have a cache driver installed in your server or did you change anything in the template?

Is your appdata share set to use cache Only or Prefer?

I have a an array of 1TB on an SSD drive. The appdata folder is set to Prefer : Cache .
I'm going to start over as you suggested and see what happens.
Will keep you posted once done.

Well, I'm at a bit of a loss: Uninstalled and re-Installed.  Seems to have installed correctly, however there is  only have a "steamapps" folder inside the "insurgency" folder. I also installed the docker for Killingfloor game server (to see how it would install) . Same issue.. just one folder installed inside the killingfloor folder (steamapps) .

If you have only one folder in there it‘s not installed correctly.

This is usually a indication that it not installed fully.

The steamapps folder is created while downloading, when the game is fully downloaded the files get moved from the steamapps folder into the main directory and finally the steamapps folder gets removed.

 

Can you provide any logs, without them I really can‘t help.

I've removed and re-installed the docker (again). Seems all the required files got downloaded and installed. Can get the docker to run... but same issue.. When I start the game through Steam, it doesn't show up in the games server list.  I've included the Docker's log file.

Does it now loop too after reinstalling the game? If not, it seems that it‘s now fully started and waiting for connections.

Can you post a Screenshot from your Docker template please? On what hardware are you trying to run Insurgency?

Doesn't loop. Smooth start and stop for that matter.
I've included two screen captures of the Docker template (top portion & bottom portion) to make it easier to read. (note, I blacked-out the Steam Username).
The appdata folder is set to "Prefer:Cache"

I'm also including a screen capture of my Array devices and Pool (cache) devises if that can be of assistance.
I've also included my server.cfg file.
I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into my problem. Thanks again.

Please remove your steam credentials from the templete, they are only needed when they are visible to the user by default and are not hidden at the „Show more …“ section and are marked with the red asterisk *

 

Maybe that is the issue on your system.

Anyways if it is now running it should be visible in the Steam Server Browser, I think above you where talking about the in game list or am I wrong?

I have removed my Steam credential (user name and password) from the docker's template in the "Show more settings" section .

You are correct, I was talking about the in game (server) list. It doesn't show up there (even after removing my Steam  User name and Password as mentioned above. I did access the Steam Server Browser, (didn't know that it existed) but my server isn't lisited there either.
Appart from the Docker Set-up and the server.cfg, is there another file or setting i needed to set up?

What have you done in there?

Click in Add Server at the Favorites tab, enter your server IP followed by the port like: 192.168.178.1:27015 and click Add.

After that click on Refresh and your server should be listed if it‘s running.

 

No, I just pulled a fresh copy from the CA App and left everything at default and as you can see from my log it is running just fine.

Is there a way to have the Arma 3 server not immediately restart if the server itself is stopped? I have a python script to update mods that I would like to run without the server up.

Where does the script run? On Unraid itself? If yes, stop the container with:

docker stop CONTAINERNAME

(of course replace CONTAINERNAME with the container name - case sensitive!)

 

You should be able of course to use this from the Python script for example for Python3 implement this:

os.system('docker stop CONTAINERNAME')

(for this you have to of corse import os to your Python script)

 

To start the container again simply run:

docker start CONTAINERNAME

 

 

Hope that helps.

 But that is an internal LAN IP... if I want to have someone join the server from the internet, that wouldn't work, right?
I did add my internal IP to the server list within "favorites" and that worked, but when I refresh, it did not populate within the larger servers list tab.
I was able to connect to it from my computer on the same lan, but again, will other computers outside my lan (internet) be able to connect if I only give them my LAN IP address and port?
I feel we are very close to getting this to work here..

Have you forwarded the ports in your router too?

So it does work at least in your internal network...

Are you referring to the in game server list right?

 

1 hour ago, StephenCND said:

No, this won't work...

Do you have other services which are running on your server that are reachable from your server?

 

1 hour ago, StephenCND said:

Yes and no...

 

You first have to make sure that you can forward the ports and your ISP is not using a CG-NAT.

Then you have to forward the ports and you can then give your friends your public IP to connect, so to speak if you forward the ports it registers at the master server and the master server checks back if the server is reachable from the outside world, if not it would not be populated in the main in game server list if it is reachable from the outside world you should see it in the main in game server list.

 

I would recommend that you first look into Port forwarding itself @SpaceInvaderOne has also some good videos about it, but please note that these videos are mostly about SWAG (former LetsEncrypt) but it should be very much similar.

The important part is to look into how you forward ports on your router.
