In regards to the Terraria Tshock server: For me the formatting of the WebUI ocassionally gets messed up in a way that makes me unable to send commands over the WebUI. I'm not sure what the issue is but my guess is that some message is getting sent with formatting that breaks the WebUI.

 

The second picture is from the container's logs. It's clear something has gone wrong but I am not sure what and I'm unsure of what to do about it.

 

 

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Unraid. I have the ASA server installed, however when it runs, I get this error saying no executable found. Am I missing something completely obvious?

While you're waiting on an official answer, could it be the case that you need to login to steam in order to download the server for that game?

It looks like you should be able to add ENV variables called USERNAME and PASSWRD to the allow it to log into Steam. See here.

No!

Only specify Steam credentials when the username and password marked with a red asterisk and are not hidden away in Show more options!

Here is also the correct example.

You have an error 0x202 error state in your logs.

This means that you run out of space and SteamCMD aborts the download because of too less available space.

 

Are you sure that you path mappings in the Docker template are correct?

Can you please be a bit more specific?

 

When does this happen?

 

Does it make a difference if you reopen the WebTerminal?

What happens when you press a few times Return?

 

The main issue for me is that you most likely have installed mods because you are using TShock and this could be also caused because of a mod.

...this is the first time I hear of that issue.

This happens "all the time" more or less. The server seems to write out some status message about the number of players / world name / IP:Port on a fixed interval.

I do have mods currently. Vanillafied and Protector. I just tried it with a second unmodded container and got the same results.

The behavior when hitting return is inconsistent. Sometimes if I hit return it will immediately react, usually by telling me that the command I entered was incorrect even if I didn't type any text. Sometimes it hangs and doesn't do anything for a while until the next status message is written. It will un-hang if all players exit the server though.

I noticed that the status output thing only happens if a player is in game. Otherwise the console seems to work fine. If you can't replicate it, I can live with it. It's fine enough to run commands in game for me.

It is a bit hard for me to replicate because I don't play Terraria (I don't play much these days because support and stuff for Unraid... ).

 

The console was only implemented on request and I'm not too sure if this is a thing about the codepage that it uses but I think that the console is working fine on the default Terraria dedicated server.

I also see a lot of open issues in their GitHub over here and maybe this is something that needs to be addressed in there and not here because it seems that this is caused by TShock itself.

 

Does TShock maybe have a API where you could access or issue commands to it?

Maybe it is also possible to issue commands from in game without accessing the WebTerminal?

So you set MaxPlayer=80 in GAME_PARAMS and -QueueThreshold=80 in the GAME_PARAMS_EXTRA like that:

 

Correct?

sorry i was off

For all Game

but for me the front is it possible to ADD UFW in docker  you can add default config all open 

but with persistance config 

because i wanna use FW for block ip range from some country  ?

No, I wont add that to my containers. I'm not sure if UFW in the Docker container is even able to do that because that would add another layer of complexity and it is maybe not working properly because UFW is caught in it's own network from Docker which then must talk to your Router/Firewall.

I would recommend that you do that with your Firwall/Router since this should be the way to do it, however if you do that you are maybe facing other issues that the game server doesn't show up in the server list <- reason for telling you that is because I've had already another user who was blocking some regions/countries and the server wasn't showing up in the server list because of that (I think the game was Valheim).

This is not the way to do it, you should add MaxPlayers=80 to GAME_PARAMS and -QueueThreshold=80 to GAME_PARAMS_EXTRA since those are the fields which the parameters meant to be go.

yes but i don t have FW the goal is block region LOL

Why not use a UFW Docker container and route the traffic from the game server through the UFW Docker?

Geoblock is not the purpose of my container, the purpose of my container is to download/start the game server.

 

My recommendation would be to buy a Router/Firewall which is able to do that since this should be blocked right at the Gateway.

My Ark asa serer seems to crash on my unraid server and with it closes the log frame. Is there any other way to find a (crash) log?

Yes, it's totally possible to get around the issue by using commands in-game, I believe TShock also supports RCON and has a REST API so it's low impact. I appreciate your work. Thank you for creating these containers. It saves me tons of time.

Simply go to the ARK SE directory and go into: .../ShooterGame/Saved/Logs/

Thanks mate, this did the trick. For some reason the mover settings had been changed so it filled up my cache drive. Got that sorted and now the server works.

Hi, Thanks for this ark asa server. Just when I enter the ARK ASA server that I mounted on my unraid, my character jerks when I run, but when I die and respawn everything works fine. I put the correct ports in, I even tried on another server other than mine containing your docker. There is the same symptom. I conclude that it's not my hardware that's the problem. I'm trying to find out where the error is.

The symptom appears when the character is already created in the server. There are chances at the first start, after creating the character it will not jerk. But if you disconnect from your server and reconnect to the server with the character already created, your character will be jerky in its movements. My friends have the same problem when they enter my server

 

My config Unraid:

CPU: ryzen 3900x

64 ddr4 3200mhz

MC: b550m ds3h

1 TO ssd nvme crucial P3

I have good internet connection

 

Sorry for my english

Sorry I can't help here, this seems like a game specific issue itself and there is nothing that I can do about that.

 

I would recommend that you report the issue to the ARK developers themselfs on their forum because my container simply downloads/updates the game files and then runs the server, nothing special is done.

 

Please also note that this is the first time that I hear of that issue and I assume that many people have my container installed on their systems and don't have this specific issue.

Hey, I can't create an ASA Server with the Svartalfheim Map. If I change the Map from "TheIsland_WP" to "Svartalfheim_WP" it doesn't work. I also change the Ports and the Directory of the Serverfiles but when I join on the Server the is my Savegame from the other Gameserver from TheIsland. Any Solutions?

And yes I created an fresh Container for the new Gameserver.

I'm not too familiar with changing maps but are you sure that the map is available on the official server or did you already add it through the workshop?

I'm not sure I'm understanding that correctly?

Can you share a bit more in depth what you've changed where? Did you also create new port mappings or did you simply changed the ports in the the template? Do you maybe have some screenshots? Did you stop the container in the first place and then changed paths and ports?

 

If you change the path afterwards to a new directory the game is download again to the new path that you've specified in the template.

Maybe I have done something wrong....

No, everything seems fine.

 

I really don‘t know how that could be even possible that it loads the savegame from the wrong server since those are two different directories, the port mappings also seem fine.

 

Sorry but with the map I really can‘t help and sorry for the dumb question but are you really sure that you connect to the correct server?

 

Is it possible that the developers only allow one communtiy server per IP and you maybe only see the first one?

This will hopefully shed some light on the underside working bits of building a cluster of servers for ARK:SurvivalEvolved.

 

With the inspiration (read thievery) from @growlith I present the A3C (ARK Cluster Companion Container). It and the accompanying XLM files should allow for a fairly simple stand up of a new ARK server cluster.

 

https://github.com/CydFSA/A3C

 

Go to the github, fetch the XMLs for however many servers you want to use in your new cluster, salt them to taste with your information (server names, cluster name, passwords, adminpasswords, ect...). 

 

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

 

historical information left below (really go get the newer stuff from github)

------------------------------

We are going to start with getting -UseDynamicConfig working and talking to our config file rather than the Official one out at http://arkdedicated.com/dynamicconfig.ini , I know it feels like that should come last but bear with me.

First we have a simple http server running by itself serving up the "dynamicconfig.ini" on port 80 on its container, this is mapped out to the host on 8080 and is not really needed but makes it easy to take a quick glance at tower:8080 to see what the settings are. I ran this container first so that it would receive a predictable IP address (172.17.0.2:80) that is then used in the configurations of the remaining containers to add an entry to the hosts file (--add-host=arkdedicated.com:172.17.0.2) so that requests to http://arkdedicated.com/dynamicconfig.ini in the game servers are pointed to the container running at 172.17.0.2. If you don't want or care to use the dynamic configs, omit the ARK0 container and remove -UseDynamicConfig from the "Extra Game Parameters" of all subsequent ARK's you deploy. 

 

Next I deployed 10 ARK server instances, why 10 when there are only 9 maps? Well, I assume that Wild card will have another map for Genesis Part 2 coming in the spring so I added a container to house it, currently it is configured as a 2nd Genesis1 map with all the correct ports and paths. If they do release a new map it will only require changing the map name in the config and starting the container.

 

The ports are mapped sequentially so you will only need to insert three port forward blocks into your gateway router (UDP 7777-7796, UDP 27015-27024, TCP 27025-27034) You do not need anything forwarded to ARK0 as it is only there to talk to ARKs 1-10.

Path mappings are slightly more complex. SteamCMD is in its original location per @ich777's standard and the binary data for ARK is also in the default location. Having the server binaries shared also means that when there is an update to ARK (and/or SteamCMD) it only has to be downloaded one time rather than 10. The update procedure is to bring all of the ARKs down then start ARK1 let it update and initialize then bring the others back up en mass, as a precaution I have the wait timer on ARKs 2-10 set to 600 seconds so that if the Tower host gets rebooted ARK1 has time to pull any updates and initialize. The ARK savegame data and Server Config files are mapped into the proper location on a per container basis. This prevents each server instance from mucking up the servers config .inis (which they liked to do), this also means that you can use different options on each ark and makes managing the SavedArks less hair pully outy. The clustering function is done with a shared resource directory and a ClusterID (-clusterid=arkStar under "Extra Game Parameters") 

 

Dynamiccimfig data:
/dynamicconfig<>/mnt/cache/appdata/ark-se/dynamicconfig

 

SteamCMD:
/serverdata/steamcmd<>/mnt/user/appdata/steamcmd

 

ARK data:

The XML files are attached below, if you chose to use them please make sure to edit them to your taste; server names, passwords, clusterIDs, ect. They can be used by placing them in /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user then going to "Docker/Add Container" then choosing from the "Template:" drop down.

 

Or maybe @ich777 will do us all a favor and decide to add them to his already impressive XML collection    

 

 

 

Using this to setup a cluster.   Basically followed instructions, however, I have not gone as far as setting up dynamic config, mods, or really any configs outside of the default. Which means I also did not setup ARK0.  I did assign my server name and passwords, and clusterID. Went through and removed `-UseDynamicConfig` and the parameter for defining the dynamic config location, though.

So, completely brand new install, no non-default configs, no mods, new survivor.
I spun up Island and Scorched earth for testing purposes.   I can see and connect to both without issues.
I can see both as options when I go to an obelisk in game, but here is where it gets tricky.

Island -> Scorched or Scorched -> Island
1. Transfer with survivor (with and without items)
2. Wait about 30-ish seconds, eventually I'm booted back to menu and a "Host Timeout Error" appears on screen.
3. Try to directly login to the server I just tried to transfer to.  Can't join, session timeout.
4. Restart target server's container.
5. Connect no issues, survivor appears and any items brought along are in the inventory/hotboar

This is consistent with every time I attempt to transfer to or from either server.  The target server will not connect, fails to connect after the attempted transfer, until I restart the container, then it works no problem.

Have you seen this before and do you possibly have a fix, or know where I can possibly see any logging information?  Because container logs stop after "Start server" appears and I've looked in steamcmd and ark logs and there's no information there really other than server save log entries.

Of course, this is all running on Unraid 6.12.6.   Docker img and all appdata files are on my 1tb nvme.
 

Hi, 

 

I have a problem with the Satisfactory container. I have been running multiple Satisfactory servers for a while but stopped playing the game early 2023. I have now started again with some friends since the new game update. 

 

One of the containers is having trouble starting a lot of the time. I tried removing the container and installing it again. That does not work. Rebooting my Unraid server does seem to work most of the time, but that is not an option for me. 

 

The logfile shows an error but closes when the container reboots. I managed to get this screenshot:

 

Trying to reinstall this container sometimes even gives me the error "can't find excecutable". My other Satisfactory container does start just fine, but this one keeps giving me trouble. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you change anything or what did you do exactly when reinstalling, did you also delete the directory or create a new directory in your appdata for the new container?

How does the template look like? Did you change anything?

Make sure that there is enough space on the disk, are all containers on the same disk?

 

I think error 0x602 has something to do with SteamCMD not working correctly (I can't remember form the top of my head).

Where do I go to edit kf2 server settings? Like server name, rounds etc etc..? I'm guessing it's pretty dang simple and I'm just over thinking it.

 

Thanks
