For those trying to use Proxied cloudflare for dns, the 8211 port is not valid in their proxy support port list. Therefore you must change your external port to a valid port and then port forward that external port to 8211, or change both internal and external ports (not recommended). 
 

OR you can run unproxied by turning off Proxy in the cloudflare DNS settings. 
 

make sure if you have automatic cloudflare dns update scripts that you are also configuring that in alignment with the above.

Agree, if you’re just playing with friends. But if they are opening up invites to their friends, or if you plan to go public, I always recommend multi tiered protection. Especially if your system is used for other activities other than the game server. 
 

thanks for the container by the way, it’s been rock solid!

Sorry but I disagree about that, sure security is good but too much security can be also be bad sometimes and cause a lot of issues.

If one has set up everything as it should be then this should not cause much issues at all.

But of course, this is only my opinion and everyone has another opinion as always...

Glad to hear that.

Hello, I downloaded the docker installer. I check the logs and it shows the server is running. I cannot connect to it for the life of me. I have tried forwarding the port 8211. That did nothing. I am using unraid 6.12.6. Please help if possible.

And what is the exact issue, I need more information on this?

How do you try to connect (direct connection,...)?

What is the exact error message?

Did you change anything in the template or in the config, if yes, please post screenshots.

After updating my Palworld docker today my save data is gone. When logging into the server it appears to be a fresh start.  

 

When exploring the folder: appdata\palword\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\EC378850F2E843729CC75CB4CE85B241\Players 

 

It looks like there are 4 player saves which is the number of users I had on the sever before the update. I tried changing /mnt/cache/appdata/palworld to /mnt/user/appdata/palword and replacing the palword folder contents with old ones but that also did not change anythinig. This is the beginning of my log. 

 

/serverdata/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh: line 39:    84 Segmentation fault      $DEBUGGER "$STEAMEXE" "$@"

I had the same issue, it looks like something changed with the steam id to player guid process (maybe related to that error?) so I had to add -nosteam to the Extra Game Parameters:

-nosteam -No-useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -UseMultithreadForDS

This fixed it for me and all 12 players on my server were able to log into to their old save files again.

Sorry, the issue is I can't direct connect to it. I just get the generic timed out error from Palworld. I changed nothing in the template/config.

Do you try to connect from inside your LAN? With what IP do you try to connect? Sometimes it doesn't work with your Public IP when your Hair Pin NAT is not set up/working properly.

Yes. I connect using the 127.0.0.1:8211

Sorry but that can't work, 127.0.0.1 is your local computer and since you are running the container on your server... Can you see where I'm going with that?

 

You have to use the IP from your Unraid server and then the port.

Eg: 10.0.0.200:8211 or 192.168.0.100:8211 or whatever your Unraid IP is.

Ahhhh. Duh.....I feel so stupid now. Okay, that worked. I have 2 questions now. 1.) How can my friends join? Use my public IP or bad idea? 2.) How can I edit the configuration for the server?

 

Thank you,

Hello there im trying to run the docker with the following command

docker run --name ARKSurvivalEvolved -d \
    -p 7777-7778:7777-7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp -p 27020:27020 \
    --env 'GAME_ID=376030' \
    --env 'MAP=TheIsland' \
    --env 'GAME_PARAMS_EXTRA=-server -log -crossplay -NoBattlEye -PublicIPForEpic=PublicIPofMyServer' \
    --env 'UID=1000' \
    --env 'GID=1000' \
    --volume ~/steamcmd:/serverdata/steamcmd \
    --volume ~/ark-se:/serverdata/serverfiles \
    ich777/steamcmd:arkse

But somehow each time i run this (after deleteing the docker container) or restart the docker container the config file gets overwritten to the default one.
Im very confused how to disable this behavior.

UID/GID is the user id/group id of the user correctly login and running the command, with 99/100 i dont have the permission to change the file without using sudo. Even if i do its still reseted on start up.

So how do i set the config ~/ark-se/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini in such a way that its not overwritten.

Today i once succeded to do this but this was when i manually started the server via running `./ShooterGameServer` with the same parameters as the extra game params above .
Then i though cool now lets run rerun the container. But since than the issue exists and is persistent.

 

./ark-se/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer TheIsland -server -log -crossplay -NoBattlEye -PublicIPForEpic=TheServerIP

Hey guys having a bit of an issue here, I have installed the dayz container i left all settings default the server then runs as you can see from the screenshot but I cannot connect to it. I am trying to connect through lan using the unraid ip. I have tried checking the lan tab on dayz as well as on steam but they dont show up, I have also tried to direct connect but nothing happens at all not even an error message.

Thank you,

The PalWorldSettings.ini will not keep changes. I edit it in nano. Then restart the docker and it goes back to default.

Thanks for having so many repositories!
I tried to create a second palworld game server now.
My steps were:

1. Give it a different local IP adress
2. Give it a different server files location
3. Delete the UDP Game port entry since I need a different one
4. Create a different Port
5. Port forward in the router settings

 

Is the name of the UDP Entry important?

Are these the steps to create a second instance of the game server?

Exactly this is the issue. Have you yet tried to stop it, then edit the config and then start the container again? <- This was discussed at least 20 times in this thread...

 

It is common practice to first stop the container, edit the config and finally start the container again.

I'm not sure how it will work with volumes because I only use bind mounts, have you yet tried to create a bind mount?

So how do i set the config ~/ark-se/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini in such a way that its not overwritten.

Can you try to set these environment variables too:

SERVER_NAME=Your SRV Name
SRV_PWD=YOURSRVPWD
SRV_ADMIN_PWD=YOURADMINPWD

 

It should not happen that it gets overwritten but I had it several times that if these variables are not set the container is not working correctly, at least not if you are not running Unraid.

How do you try to connect exactly? What error message do you get? On which branch are you on the client, so to speak your PC?

You have of course give to container a different name and change the location for the game files for the second container.

Okay thanks. So the solution is to remove the text in the GAME_PARAMS and add my desired port number? Basically remove the EpicApp=PalServer and add port=xxxx?

 

Edit: just tested it and it works! I would never expect to enter the port in the game params field. Thank you!
