Any chance of a Scrap Mechanic Server?

Sadly no, I've tried now several times, the game needs too much Windows DLL's to run properly under WINE...

This game was also designed without Linux in mind...

Thanks for the update

 

1 - Yes, only use the credentials if the are marked as required in the template (I have to update the discription of all my steam containers but that have to wait for now)

2 - This can cause problems because eventually the container assigned another IP address or translates something differently (0.0.0.0 is the best way to go in the most containers)

3 - Should also work if you let them in there (I will definetely update the template)

 

One last question, the server works also if you don't put in the steamaccesskey or am I wrong?

thats correct i dont use the steamaccesskey. BTW thank you very much for your help.

If this is the latest beta look one page back (keep in mind that this is thr same if you have a linux dedicated server):

 

EDIT: But please also read the comments that follows, one user reported that after the update it doesn't work anymore and he had to completely reinstall it.

thank you very much and sorry i should have back read some before posting.....

Hi,

 

I am trying to set up the SCP: Secret Laboratory as a docker, but I am having trouble getting the ports to forward from my router, and I just want to make sure it isn't an issue with the docker container. I left basically everything default in the container and let it sit overnight to download the game. Reading the log it does set my Server IP equal to my public IP address, there is a line about IPV6, which I have IPV6 disabled on my router Maybe that might be the issue?

After multiple reboots I just can't get the port to show open, and I'm not sure if that is related to the fact that it can't see a service running from my server IP on that port.

Have you forwarded both tcp and udp?

The game works flawlessly on my server.

 

The IPv6 message is just a warning and can be ignored.

 

Please don't use standard port checkers if the port is open since this is not a webservice this is a gameserver.

 

What does the steam server browser say if you type in your IP:PORT?

 

Try it first with your internal server ip and port and then with your external ip.

Try it first with your internal server ip and port and then with your external ip.

So when I first got the docker installed, it worked fine when connecting to my internal server IP and port. But when trying to connect via my external ip and port it would say "Disconnected - The specified host is not available".

Since trying to troubleshoot, it now says that for both instances, and when I try to read the log for the docker, the window scrolls with the log but after a bit both it and the tab I have open for my unraid server stops responding.

Have you changed something in the config?

 

Try to start over, delete the container and then delete the created directory inside your appdata directory and redownload it from the CA App.

 

You don't have to let it sit overnoght I think SCP is not a really big game and should be downlaoded even with a 5MB/s line in half an hour.

 

Is it possible that the container constantly restarts?

 

EDIT: try to restart the container first before you do anything.

That actually worked perfectly, not sure what setting I had messed with, could've been an issue with my router back then. 

 

Maybe you could also help me with this, where do I go to edit the server config files?

Nice.

Sorry but there I can't help, I think this a source game or am I wrong?

Should be in the created directory in the appdata under the subfolder scp or how the game is named.

It's not different than a default linux gameserver.

It's not a source game, everyone assumes you're running it under a windows machine so they say "Appdata/roaming" and its a file called "Config_gameplay.txt" but all I can find under appdata/scp-secretlaboratory is ConfigTemplates. I was trying to view the /mnt/cache directory, but I can't figure out how to view it.

I also can't use a console on it, when I use 'screen -xS SCP' it tells me 'There is no screen to be attached matching SCP'

On the SCP Steam help page, there is a guide for configuring SCP with SteamCMD, it shows a screenshot of the directory which I can pull up, but it shows the a file called 'LocalAdmin.exe' and in my directory LocalAdmin has no extension, and when adding an exe to it, Windows won't run it.


EDIT: I want to say that I was able to get the configuration files working for me so now I can configure the server for admin, the solution was this, as this might be a good thing to add to the Docker app by default

1. Go to the directory you installed the docker to (In my case /mnt/cache/appdata/scp-secretlaboratory) and create a folder called 'Config'
2. With the docker app stopped, edit it and under GAME_PARAMS put the argument '--config Config' (This tells the game when it runs to look for config files in the previously created folder)
3. Run the Docker App and let it run for a minute or two, and check the Config folder, you should have a handful of txt files (like config_gameplay.txt) listed.


Now you should be able to make any changes to the config files you want, just make sure to restart the docker app after any changes.

I thought it is based on the Source engine but I also could be wron

When I speak from Appdata I don't mean the Windows Appdata directory since you installed the dedicated server on the server an not on your windows machine (of course the Game itself is on your windows machine but not the dedicated server).

 

The /mnt/cache directory is basically the same as /mnt/user

You have to open a console from the container (click on the icon of the container and then console), I think you are opening the console from Unraid itself.

This is the Linux version of the game not the Windows version...

Nice that everythin is now working for you.

EDIT: Ok it just works now I guess. I did nothing, just waited a bit.

 

As of this morning I can't see my Ark server in the server browser. The log file doesn't seem abnormal. I've tried restarting the container. Last night my friend was logged in and playing just fine. I had Creature Finder Deluxe as a mod on there which was working. I removed that from the config lines to eliminate variables but I still can't find it in game or RCON to it.

Can you try it again, I recommend deleting the container and also the created directory in the 'appdata' directory and readownload it from the CA App.

Doesnt hang anymore though something is failing and does a boot loop. Ill attach the logs. Thanks

 

Also on a side note, how do I go about running multiple 7 days to die servers? Ive tried creating a new container and making new folder paths and ports (just host side or do i need to do both container and host ports for all?) for it though that didnt seem to work.

This is because you've entered the URL the wrong way, might be a typo.

Line 136 from the file 'csmm_output.log' says that you've enter 'htpps' in the URL (also I think this is the wrong syntax, normaly you don't need www infront of csmm in your address but that completely depends on your configuration, I think you don't have two subdomains configured):

 

error: Failed to lift app: userError: Invalid global CORS `allowOrigins` setting: Must specify a protocol like http:// or https://, but instead got: htpps://www.csmm.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx (See http://sailsjs.com/config/security for help.)

Perfect, thanks for picking that up! Appears to be working now.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do an automated backup of a game server on the 7 Days to Die server?

 

We have been playing but one of the group took on a mission that involved a barn that we subsequently had demolished and made into another structure and as if by magic the barn re-appeared, taking our new building with it! 😬

 

I can find the save game folder - although there is one called "mygame" and another with the name of the server so I'm not sure which is the right one!

 

All I'm thinking is if I can somehow set the game to backup the save overnight in a new location, if anything like this happens again, we can just revert to the previous day's game state?

 

Thanks for any advice...

I personally use a plugin called CA Backup/Restore Appdata. It'll allow you to backup the entire Appdata share (or only specific apps). You can't do just individual files with it tho, but you can schedule it. Other than that some people might suggest setting up a cron job or a different Plugin, it's just what I found to work for me.

When i Try and Run a Altis Life server Runs fine but then when i put extDB3  on the server i just keeps rebooting and giveing me errors.

Seems like a permission issue.

How did you copy over the files? Through a SMB share?
