Nara(Nartek01) has submitted a ticket

Versions: FIKA 1.2.7 | SPT 3.11.3 - 7a9a34
Networking: Portforwarded TCP/UDP 6969 & 25565
Description: I've got a tarkov server running on docker container with an Ubuntu 22.04 host. I can see people online and create sessions however no one can join my session.

I've installed SPT + SPT FIKA on windows 11 laptop and could join my server, create a session and other people including me could join it's session.

I think the issue is client related, but I don't know where to look anymore. I ran Fikautils so the outbound/inbound rules are set correctly.

The server has nothing to do with raid joining at all

[chilly summit]

you need to port forward 25565/udp to the pc where you are playing tarkov in order to host raids

6969/tcp stays port forwarded to your ubuntu 22.04 machine, 25565/udp goes to your gaming pc

@chilly summit Yeah that fixed it, thanks I thought I missunderstod the wiki, but it turns out I had to wait for the router propagation time and restart the client!

[formal sequoia]

now, if you were to run a headless client on your server too, it would need 25565

@formal sequoia Currently I don't have a reason to run headless fully dedicated. But will def keep in mind if it changes! Thanks for quick help ❤️

[formal sequoia]

the only reason is host FPS
So if you feel like you want extra FPS if you're the one starting the raids
