i have problem when starting new server
i thought the problem is at here
keen shard
What is the problem that you have? Since you have not explained it other than saying that you have a problem
drowsy chasm
i know a proxmox screenshot when I see one
but yea like beard says, what is the actual issue, you haven't described an issue or shown any errors
assuming it's going to be a networking issue, though, since you fixated on a upnp log entry, I'd like to see the network configuration of your proxmox node (Node > System > Network) and also the Hardware tab of the VM showing the network configuration there, along with the command ip a from inside the VM and I'd also like to know where you're trying to connect from (local address or public) and if it's public, please provide the port forwarding page of your primary gateway/router
if it's not a network issue then you can ignore all that 😄

I'm sorry, I want to install Project Zomboid on my Proxmox server. I have been looking for tutorials from YouTube to the PZ Wiki, but none of them worked because there were several errors. I even ended up deleting the container that had errors and was supposed to be used for the server later. So, the problem is I don't know how to install it correctly, and there were also errors like the ones below.

sometime like this

You can just follow the instructions on the pz wiki.
They work great and are very simple
You said 'container', did you mean VM?
Unless you know what you're doing you should use a VM, not an LXC container.
Set up a Debian VM with 8 gigs of ram and four vCPU, use 'host' CPU type (unless you know what you're doing), use defaults for storage, turn off firewall, use your network bridge
Then follow the pz wiki instructions and you should have no problem
I've been running pz servers and other servers on proxmox for years 👍👍
amber spire
the instruction at pzwiki tell me to Navigate to my installation folder, but i cant do that, and i try to navigate manually, but when i check at common there no directory for Project Zomboid Dedicated Server
amber spire
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Dedicated_server
i was read this and do the step by step
drowsy chasm
i can see from your screenshot you're using a container
drowsy chasm
Unless you know what you're doing you should use a VM, not an LXC container.
again, i recommend using a VM, not a container, unless you know what you are doing.
did you run this: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games steamcmd +runscript $HOME/update_zomboid.txt
amber spire
again, i recommend using a VM, not a container, unless you know what you are doi...
The problem is that the VM is heavy because I'm also running a Minecraft server. I'm also using a container to install the Minecraft server
amber spire
did you run this: ```export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games
steamcmd +runscript $HOME/upda...
yes i did
amber spire
did you run this: ```export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games
steamcmd +runscript $HOME/upda...
should i run this again ?
drowsy chasm
no, can you show cat $HOME/update_zomboid.txt
amber spire
amber spire
drowsy chasm
there you go
amber spire
there you go
what the problem ?
drowsy chasm
well, you were looking in the wrong directory is the problem
you installed into /opt/pzserver but you were looking in /home/pzuser
you can just do /opt/pzserver/start-server.sh now
amber spire
you installed into /opt/pzserver but you were looking in /home/pzuser
ah i see
so i must go to the directory of opt/pzserver first to run ?
drowsy chasm
yea, you can pick up from where you left off in the instructions, just remember your installation folder is /opt/pzserver
the instructions are a bit misleading because in the top part they're saying how to install via steamcmd, but in the part you're at now they give the default directory as if you installed via steam, not steamcmd
so I see why you were confused
could probably use a bit of clarification on the wiki there
amber spire
could probably use a bit of clarification on the wiki there
hahaha you right
thanks dude
drowsy chasm
no problem, good luck
amber spire
btw is this normal ?, because everytime i run server i got stuck at this moment
drowsy chasm
what is the container hardware?
amber spire
what is the container hardware?
are you mean the storage ?
drowsy chasm
RAM specifically
and cpu
how much did you allocate to the container?
under 'Resources' tab
amber spire
oh my gosh, i forgot to change the memory
drowsy chasm
😄
amber spire
drowsy chasm
lol that would do it
I recommend a very minimum of 4 but you should do at least 6 if you can
amber spire
usually i use 4-6 GB for memory and 1 GB for swap
amber spire
are the problem coming from this ?
amber spire
should not need swap for a dedicated container and java
so no problem the swap is 512 MiB ?
drowsy chasm
I think it should be no problem
amber spire
i'll try to shutdown the conteiner first and change the resources
drowsy chasm
java is pretty good about heap allocation and garbage collection so it is unlikely you'll need swap if you have 6gb ram and -Xmx3g set as max heap (the default setting)
if you set max heap closer to the container RAM you may need the swap but that would not be ideal
amber spire
so the server running now ?
drowsy chasm
looks pretty good
