.../valheim/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim

 

For a specific seed you have to create that on your client and copy the world file over to the server.

ok will try that

just tried that, the seed still wasn't the same

Yes generating a seed on windows will be different on linux even when using the same seed.

PALWORLD ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Palworld now supports automatic backups.

 

If you want to make use of the new feature update the container with the "force update" button on the Docker page (with advanced view enabled) and then create these variables in the template:

 

1. Key: BACKUP
   Value: true
   Description: Can be either true or false and will enable or disable the Backup function.
    
2. Key: BACKUP_INTERVAL
   Value: 120
   Description: Backup interval in minutes
    
3. Key: BACKUPS_TO_KEEP
   Value: 12
   Description: Number of backups to keep

(YOU HAVE TO CREATE ALL THREE VARIABLES OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET ERRORS)

 

In the template it should look something like that:

 

 

Another method would be to delete the existing container (but not the directory for Palworld) and re-pull it from the CA App to get the new Variables, just make sure to write down any custom things you did in the first installed template and transfer that over to the new template.

 

Quick question about the automated backups: does this process restart the server?

No, it takes a backup in the given intervals and keep the number of specified backups.

 

That's why I said above you should create a User Script and enable RCON to restart the container.

Perfect! Just wanted to confirm. Thanks again!

 

For anyone else looking to add a User Script for server restarts, here's what I threw together:

#!/bin/bash
SERVER_IP=127.0.0.1
RCON_PORT=25575
RCON_PASS=password

rconCmd () {
    command rcon -a $SERVER_IP:$RCON_PORT -p $RCON_PASS "$@"
}

if rconCmd info | grep "Welcome to Pal Server" >/dev/null
then
    echo "Palworld is running"
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_5_minutes" >/dev/null
    sleep 60
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_4_minutes" >/dev/null
    sleep 60
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_3_minutes" >/dev/null
    sleep 60
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_2_minutes" >/dev/null
    sleep 60
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_60_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 30
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_30_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 5
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_25_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 5
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_20_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 5
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_15_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 5
    rconCmd "broadcast Server_will_restart_in_10_seconds" >/dev/null
    sleep 5
    rconCmd save >/dev/null
    rconCmd "shutdown 5 Server_will_restart_in_5_seconds._Get_the_fuck_out" >/dev/null
else
	echo "Palworld not running"
fi

 

This assumes you have ich777's RCON plugin installed (and RCON enabled on your server, obviously). It's extra verbose with the warnings/broadcasts, so you can adjust to your liking.

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hey

Anyone had success with migrating their local data to the server? 

A friend ist asking me to host it on unraid. I don't play the game itself. We created the server (without the community server parameters). I copied over the level and player files. 
His friends could connect. 

I used this python file to fix his file:

GitHub - JannikBirn/palworld-host-save-fix: A variation of the Palworld Host Save Fix from xNul with additional bug fixes. This script can be used in a similar way to convert co-op games to dedicated server and vice versa.

Basically it should rewrite the 0000*1.sav file to whatever his GUID file is. 

He can see his map state and so on, but none of the pals or the skill tree. 

Is this a known issue?

Thanks for the support!
Best regards

Then the conversion was not done properly.

 

I really can't help with that since I've never done that but it should be totally doable.

I don't know about the rcon plugin but you can simply put the mcrcon binary and call it. That's how I'm using it. I agree that your way with the function is cleaner, was too lazy when I created that for my conan servers years ago

 

#!/bin/bash
/mnt/cache/mcrcon/mcrcon -H 192.168.0.4 -p pass -P 25575 -w 5 "broadcast Server restart in 5 minutes"
sleep 60
/mnt/cache/mcrcon/mcrcon -H 192.168.0.4 -p pass -P 25575 -w 5 "broadcast Server restart in 4 minutes"
sleep 60
/mnt/cache/mcrcon/mcrcon -H 192.168.0.4 -p pass -P 25575 -w 5 "broadcast Server restart in 3 minutes"
sleep 60

You could also create a .yaml file that the new RCON plugin can read, see here (be aware that you have to store the file somewhere on the Cache or Array).

Oh that's nice. I'll have to play with that later on. Waiting on app data backup to have per container script to have it fire before the backup start

Can you please post your ligs?

Usually you just restart the FiveM container and it will check for the latest FiveM version.

 

TBH I‘m not sure if the latest version from txAdmin ships with FiveM

As far as I'm aware txAdmin doesn't ship with FiveM it's an addon. I just see in the web ui it want's to update more frequently than fiveM

Anyone having issues with Icarus? For some reason Direct Connect isn't even working I'm not seeing any attempts in the logs either. As far as I can tell it looks like everything is booting normally, just not seeing my server on the list, direct connect doesn't work, and I've port forwarded.

It sure does ship with FiveM

Go to the server folder and then to: .../citizen/system_resources/monitor <- this is txAdmin.

 

Updates are up to you, you can download it from here.

There are plenty tutorials out there about that (took me a few minutes to figure it out how this is working ).

For FiveM I'll check out some tutorials on it

For Icarus I'm seeing something to a similar post but I'm trying your recommendation there first of deleting the appdata directory and docker as it's fresh anyways and try to reinstall of it first.

Is what I am getting when trying to start the container each time, from what I was reading this seems like normal startup on other threads but it never shows up in the server browser nor can I direct connect.

Any ideas? I tried both with and without a steam account signed in and I keep getting the same one.

Thanks for the reply! I may end up switching to OPNsense eventually. I left Unifi because I wanted to simply my router management some and have extra software packages. Maybe pfsense isn't it and OPNsense is!

 

My unraid is assigned a static IP so I assigned the port forward to that. I have successfully done the same for Syncthing and Plex.

 

I am able to connect to my Plex and Syncthing services VIA my public IP while connected to my LAN.

 

The rule was set to TCP / UDP I have now changed it to just UDP.

 

I did another test and was still unable to connect via WAN address. The docker container's network type is bridge is that ok?

I'm on pfsense with no problem. Check your Nat and rules, also don't forget the order is very important.

Yes, this is indeed a normal startup from the dedicated server.

This was a fresh install on mine, removed the folder from appdata and removed the container then went back to CA and downloaded it again, this was first boot after that. Upon doing the fresh install I haven't changed anything on the template or in the config page.

I tried both my public IP as well as my internal RFC1918 space with the port 17777 and I'm not getting anything.

I'm not seeing any conflicting ports in use either under docker allocations.

Actually I might just be an idiot and need to have port forwarded both ports and not just the game one 🤦‍♂️

But yeah my Server one is 10.0.20.12


Port Forwarding Both worked. Sorry for bugging you! Just wish I knew more about Docker and how to do this stuff.

Don't worry about the shutdown, the container will automatically restart if the game is shutdown.

 

Is this for all or most of your game docker containers or only Palworld?

I actually have a few scripts to "gracefully" shutdown the server via rcon if the docker container is running, and then the container itself. But if it auto restarts and it is doing stuff again it could maybe cause issues if i then abruptly stop the container? If i needed to restart the game I've always used the docker restart command.

11 minutes ago, Ocgineer said:

It should be the case for all but keep in mind some game servers have a fixed save interval and do not save when you gracefully shutdown the server.

You usually just need to stop the container, maybe for some games it would be wise to issue a save command first through RCON and then stop the container but the containers in general are designed in that way so that they gracefully shutdown the application inside the container.

 

They all have their own shutdown routine and only a few containers (mostly WINE based containers) can‘t be stopped gracefully, but as said, only a few.

 

BTW why should they be not stopped gracefully?

A shutdown will also restart the container because I use --restart=unless-stopped

 

However if you stop the container right after the shutdown it should be fine since my containers updating steam cmd, then they are looking for updates for the game itself and then finally start the dedicated server.

Ok good to know.

And yes my shutdown script first announces shutdown in-game and then issues the save command about 10-15 seconds before shutdown if available via RCON so I'm good on that regard 😆 I now can remove any "restart docker $name" from my restart scripts as that is not needed then 😄 I like to use a script to shutdown as I also let it create a fresh backup of the saved folder.

May I ask why do you run the container in br0?

As I explained in that thread that you've found it has no real advantages...

 

I run my docker containers in br0 purely for my sanity. Ran into a networking problem long ago involving docker containers and just have done it that way since. I know the security implications, and that I can re-map a docker container's ports if needed; but I find it easier to just assign an IP so I don't have to worry about remapping.

Hey, for some reason Project Zomboid specifically is taking up a significantly larger size of my docker img file than my other services, I don't think this is proper?
