This can't work, you added Steam credentials, remove them and start over.

 

BTW are you the root user from Steam?

They re-autofill every time I remove them. It's been running like that since launch somehow

 

That said... THAT SAID... I stopped the container, blanked them out, started it and:

 

but if i go back in to settings now, again, root shows up with some dummy pw... lol

 

How do you even deal with us plebs?  Thanks @ich777

This is most likely a autofill issue from your browser? Autofill is most of the time bad anyways, I would strongly recommend to disable it but that is only my opinion.

I have not been able to connect to the container from outside my lan since I am a homebody.

You have to test it from outside your LAN, if Hair Pin NAT is not working then you can't connect with your public IP from your LAN.

 

A bit more information would be also nice next time, what is the error message?

It looks like my isp had it locked out. contacted them and they have the ports open but they are going to provide me a dedicated ip address which should resolve the issue.  I will follow up once all the updates have been made

Wait, your ISP was like "Oh, yeah, sorry, here's a dedicated IP to solve the issue"? What glorious ISP do you use?!?!

I'm moving to wherever you live... lol. I still can't even get fiber and I live in a really nice area of town where, pretty much, everyone would pay for it.

anyone knows if is possible to transfer my palworld progress from a server to my dedicated server?

I just restarted my container about an hour ago and it was picking up the update just fine (you have to restart the container so that it pulls the update since it checks on every start from the container for new updates through steamcmd) :

Welcome to Pal Server[v0.1.3.0]

 

It will also tell you that in the log:

 

thanks!!!

Transfer the whole saves folder over.

Is there an easy way to backup the server?  Other containers have an ability to just type something like

docker exec palworld-server backup

and it would back up the files in a specific folder.  Any thoughts?  I've only spun up a Palworld server because my friends have lost 2 worlds on thier own.  I'd like to keep this one alive, and/or have the ability to recover in case something goes sideways.

I have setup the docker and everything "appears" to be running but it had been running for a couple hours now and I don't think it downloaded the base game. My disk space has not changed and I do not see the files in the palworld directory. Any ideas why it wouldn't download?

But that is not the correct directory, please read the description from the container where the ini file is located.

Can you provide a log or something like that? Click on the container and then select Log.

thanks for the docker ich777! Everything works great except there is a weird lag/glitch like rubber banding i dont know if it is something I did wrong or due to the game. Also is there a way to Save before closing the docker or do I just stop it when i want to restart ( due to the memory leak ).

For the backup feature on the Palworld Docker Container, is it possible to have the backups placed to another location? E.g. I have the gameservers installed to an unprotected nvme cache drive, where I have currently a user script running on a cron job that makes a backup of SaveGames to my appdata share which is on protected cache.

If not, no worries then I'll keep using the user script, just curious if you have thought about these use cases.

Is there a way to limit the memory allowed for Pal World and are there community recommendations for amount?

 

On 1/25/2024 at 7:02 PM, ich777 said:

Yes, but if you limit the RAM then the container will crash and restart, this could lead to a corrupt save file...

I have it currently limited to 40GB but the highest that I've seen so far with 9 concurrent players was 21GB

 

I have a user script running that check my total available ram every 2 minutes and when it goes below a threshold it initiates a shutdown via rcon ([updated] plugin) to announce in-game, shutdown, save, and then restarts the Docker container. It seems to work on my end for my users. It might not be pretty or can be done better, but I don't really have that much experience with Linux but it might help some people or give ideas 😅

 

#!/bin/bash
freemem=$(free -m | grep Mem | awk '{print $7}');
rconPalworld=$(docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' Palworld):25575;
adminPassword=ADMINPASSWORD

if [ $freemem -le 1200 ]
then
    echo "CRITICAL: $freemem RESTARTING PALWORLD AND THE DOCKER CONTAINER"
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast INITIATING_RESTART_IN_5_SECONDS!"
    sleep 1
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast INITIATING_RESTART_IN_4_SECONDS!"
    sleep 1
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast INITIATING_RESTART_IN_3_SECONDS!"
    sleep 1
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast INITIATING_RESTART_IN_2_SECONDS!"
    sleep 1
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast INITIATING_RESTART_IN_1_SECONDS!"
    sleep 1
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Shutdown 60 SERVER_SHUTDOWN_IN_60_SECONDS!"
    sleep 30
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast SERVER_SHUTDOWN_IN_30_SECONDS!"
    sleep 10
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword Save
    sleep 10
    rcon -a $rconPalworld -p $adminPassword "Broadcast SERVER_SHUTDOWN_IN_10_SECONDS!"
    sleep 20
    docker restart Palworld
else
    echo "ALL OK: $freemem"
fi

Game, please don't forget this is a Early Access game and they need to fix a lot, including the high RAM usage <- TBH I don't know if that can be fixed.

Anyways, about your issue, I would recommend that you report that to the developers from the game.

No, the default backup location is in the main directory in the subfolder Backups.

But I think you overthinking that a bit since we are dealing with Docker you can do something like that:

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

With that you basically override the Backups folder in the container and map it to another location on your host, this is what you want to accomplish correct?

How would I go about making a second server for palworld? Want to have 2 seperate ones for 2 seperate groups. Would I just download it as another docker container and rename it to something like palworld2 and change the 8211 port to a different one?

Please look at the recommended posts on top of this thread, it‘s basically the same as for Valheim except that you need to change the port in the config an not in the variable.

 

EDIT: sorry you don‘t have to not edit the port in the config you have to add this to you GAME_PARAMS_EXTRA:

port=8212

(In this example if you want to use port 8212)
