Thats even more impressive. Thanks a lot for your effort.

I'm having trouble setting up my satisfactory server for outside access. When connecting via internal ip, everything works fine. When connecting via external ip, I get the following error:

 

UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection.. Elapsed: 20.00, Real: 20.00, Good: 20.00, DriverTime: 20.28, Threshold: 20.00, [UNetConnection]

 

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? My searching led to making sure the system time was set properly, but I couldn't find anything else.

Does it work when you try to connect via your local IP?

 

Are you sure that you have the correct ports with the appropriate protocol forwarded? Have you yet tried to connect from a external source to your server maybe hair pin NAT is not working properly?

It does work when I connect via my local IP:15777.

 

So I have a reverse proxy through Nginx Proxy Manager set up on my Unraid server, but I think I'm bypassing it for the time being until I can get something working. I have both ports 7777 to [Server IP]:7777 and 15777 to [Server IP]:15777 forwarded on my router using Both TCP and UDP protocols.

 

I just forwarded port 15000 as well, and now it works correctly (got a friend to log into the server successfully). Why is that? I thought it was using only one of the 15777 or 7777 ports (i forwarded both because I was getting frustrated).

 

My next step is to close those ports on my router and use my reverse proxy to forward to the correct port on my server. Which port should I forward the traffic to? I'm notoriously bad at networking, so I'm just trying to understand.

You have to forward the ports 7777, 15777 and 15000 as in the documentation, you always have to forward the ports which are specified in my templates.

Some game server use one port some use, two or three and some use a ton (eg. Project Zomboid 32+ ports, depending on how much players you want to let on your server).

Why would you do that? This adds another layer of complexity and you have to use streaming ports because these are not default http ports.

You should never reverse proxy a game server.

Most game servers are using a proprietary protocol (which by the way wont answer the most http requests because it's a proprietary protocol) and this is not a "normal" web service or web server where a website ist hosted.

A reverse proxy is good for a service that runs locally which you want to make publicly available but a game server is a whole different story.

 

Please also note that in my container no game server is run with root privileges so they are safe to use, as said above please forward the ports without a proxy, you will cause only issues for yourself and I can't support proxying game servers because this makes no sense.

I see, sorry I missed the third port in the docs.

 

Thank you for explaining it. I'm learning a lot of new skills as I work on this unraid server thing, so I just hadn't been exposed to those details before. Thanks for taking the time to talk to a dummy like me. In any case, I got it working now so thanks for your help!

How necessary is this process? (using ich777/minecraftbasicserver)
--env 'UID=99' \
--env 'GID=100' \

The issue that I'm facing, is that my Minecraft (MC Eternal) server reboots will take literally forever to reboot due to this process. I've got hundreds of gigs of Dynmap and World data, and everytime the container reboots, this process will struggle to go through each of the directories created, mainly Dynmap and World folders will cause this to take forever as there are millions of folders/subdirectories.

Can I set the necessary permissions one time, and disable this process from the bootup process?

You can't disable that by default.

However you could remove the line though a script that is executed before the command to set correct the permissions is even executed, but first I would like to try this manually and see if this helps.

 

Please try the following:

1. Start the container and open up a Console
2. Copy paste this:

   sed -i '/chown -R ${UID}:${GID} ${DATA_DIR}/d' /opt/scripts/start.sh
   sed -i '/chmod -R ${DATA_PERM} ${DATA_DIR}/d' /opt/scripts/start-server.sh

3. Restart the container and see if it starts up faster

If this is working I can explain how to make that permanent.

I'm looking to change the World Seed in Rust.  Been poking around files and the internet but no luck so far.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Add this to your GAME PARAMS in the template:

+server.worldsize 3000 +server.seed 1374825187

(Of course change the seed and worldsize)

I am a brand new user of Unraid and really enjoy it so far. I builded my server mostly to host games and these dockers does make our lives SO much easier. Great job, really appreciated.

 

There's two things i can't find anywhere and I hope someone would be able to help me 🙏. First, Is there a way from the dashboard, dockers dashboard, plugins or settings to know how many players are connected to my game servers or a specific server?

 

Second, is there a way to schedule reboots of the Unraid server somewhere? 🤔

 

Thanks so much in advance to anyone who could provide support, it will be much appreciated.

 

Best regards

Nope, you have to use some kind of external tool to monitor this. Depending on the game there are web tools out there who query the server status and how many players are connected.

The whole server? May I ask why? If yes, this would be a question for the General Support forum, but I think a user script (through the User Scripts plugin which you can find in the CA App) on a schedule with this command should work fine:

shutdown -r now

 

However if you want to restart only the container on a schedule you can simply create a user script on a schedule with the following contents:

docker container restart CONTAINERNAME

(please replace CONTAINERNAME with the exact container name, case sensitive!)

 

If you want to restart multiple containers at the same time you can also do:

docker container restart CONTAINERNAME1 CONTAINERNAME2 CONTAINERNAME3

(you can restart as many containers as you want at the same time as you want but I really don't recommend that because that could cause a significant performance hit and maybe cause heavy I/O and resource usage)

Thanks a lot for the answers. That's sad, i was so much expecting to find an app or a plugin to be able to do that inside the unraid environment 😔🤷‍♂️.

 

For the restart part, i was told that it is a good thing to restart the server on a normal basis. Was I being misinformed?

You can use RCON, at least when the game server supports it and write custom scripts but I think that's not your goal here.

Sorry, I only provide the basic functionality, everything further is up to the user. The container of course all support modding and so on but I can't support that because I can't know every mod and even if I play some of the games, I can't know how to mod every game.

 

If you find something to monitor your game server let me know, I don't had the need to monitor my game servers closely because I only play with a few friends on them (if I have time to play games... ).

Who did tell you to do so? Sure it maybe doesn't hurt but I know a few people with 117+ days of uptime on Unraid and even more...

 

I would recommend to restart the game server on a daily basis with the command provided above since they pull updates on every start/restart from the dedicated server itself through SteamCMD.

Thanks a lot! And keep doing an excellent job man 😁👌

How can i connect to the Terminal of a SteamCMD Server?I never needed that before but i need it to configure the Gmod Server

I don't use this, but usually you can get to the command line inside any of your containers by clicking on its icon and selecting >_ Console

It's probably been answered before, but my Search Fu isn't working so well. Apologies if it's been answered. If I were to install Ich's basic Minecraft server right now, it would install 1.19.3 if I changed nothing. How does one get it to install 1.19.2?

 

Would I just grab an old server.jar file from somewhere else and just replace the current one?

Hello, I am new to unraid and am having trouble setting up a Conan exiles server. It loads everything and then after downloading all workshop content is says "Something went wrong cant find folder 'ConanSandbox' putting server into sleep mode. Just attempted again without workshop content and got same result.

Did you add your Steam credentials? If yes please remove it and start over.

 

Are all paths in the template set correct and is your appdata directory set to use cache only or prefer in the share settings?

Open up a console from the container and enter these exact commands:

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

I think you want to install other game content correct? If so please change the ${GAME_ID} with the game ID from the other game.

 

A more easy solution would be to copy over the game contents from your local computer to the directory on your server for GarrysMod.

Are we talking about the Java version or the Bedrock version?

 

If Bedrock Edition, set the GAME_V to your prefered game version.

 

If the Java version set GAME_V to „custom“ (without double quotes), download the server.jar manually and place it in the directory for Minecraft on your server and make sure that the JAR_NAME is set to „server“ (without double quotes). JAR_NAME needs to be the exact name as the downloaded file.
