[tender thicket]

what hw they use, what they wanna connect

all these different things

[mossy grove]

Hi setting up a windows server and keep getting this error over and over when booting it, I have 7777 port forwarded in both TCP and UDP

[inland otter]

but i dont want to

ive never used a damn server before

[tender thicket]

then play peer 2 peer

[inland otter]

in my life

[tender thicket]

or pay a hosting co

[inland otter]

im poor

[tender thicket]

well then figure it out dude

[inland otter]

and i dont wanna use a like where i host

[tender thicket]

u kinda need base knowledge for this stuff

[inland otter]

theres no videos other than that one and it doesnt help

[tender thicket]

we cant carry u thru computers 101

use docker then

[inland otter]

i dont wanna have a computer science degree just for this crap

[tender thicket]

u dont need one

[inland otter]

dont i need linux for it tho or not?

[tender thicket]

no

docker can run on windows

[tender thicket]

somethings already using port 7777, u need to figure out what is

[spiral lion]

I currently use docker desktop while waiting for windows version to be fix

[tender thicket]

or if u just restarted the server u cant kill the server when ur not using it u have to exit with ctrl

[twin trellis]

Whats broken with the windows version?

[tender thicket]

ctrl c*

[spiral lion]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1283191576641798144

its just annoying one.

[mossy grove]

nothing is using port 7777, 7777 is only port forwarded for the satisfactory server

[tender thicket]

then an improperly exited satisfactory server is using it

u killed it incorrectly

[twin trellis]

Sick, so anyone got a pin or post that may assist with failed to connect to server API

[tender thicket]

make sure ur port forwarding 7777 udp/tcp, go to https:// ip:port and show us what u get

[twin trellis]

Just running on a windows machine, port forwarded and made new firewall exceptions and then double checked the exceptions done a clean install

[mossy grove]

what would the process be called in task manager so I can bash it on the head lol

[tender thicket]

just check for whats using 7777

[mossy grove]

How do I do so

[spiral lion]

if you know the commands, you can check it in cmd

or there's apps for monitoring ports

[mossy grove]

Ran netstat for that port

nothing

ran it for other ports I know i have stuff running on and they returned correctly

[heady prawn]

resmon.exe

[mossy grove]

So nothing is using 7777 100% but still getting that error message over and over and unsure how to resolve

[acoustic pike]

id like to know this too bc mine keeps dying

nvm i see the thread

[rare grove]

Quick question, I am trying to use a blueprint I have downloaded. I put it in the Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/save name folder and it didn't show even after a restart. I read somewhere I need to create the blueprint the world first so I created the blueprint using the blueprint machine then pasted the blueprint over it and it still pasted the original build even after a restart. I tried deleting the blueprint from my folder and restart and it showed back up. Is this coming from my server? If so where can I find the blueprint to change it to the one that I want to use?

[acoustic pike]

headache intensifies

[twin trellis]

Wasn't returning but I knew for a fact I had opened the ports so I just went for old reliable and restarted my router and now it all works

im fuming

[spiral lion]

this might actually help.

sometimes magic happens XD

[mossy grove]

so it turns out because Im using nord vpn on the same server it is causing this however I use nord vpn split tunnelling and only select the apps I want covered by vpn so im confused as to why its causing it

[tender thicket]

blueprints are absolutely cooked right now try to avoid using them

they are super buggy

[rare grove]

Could you explain why they are cooked?

[tender thicket]

they are just buggy rn

[spiral lion]

I saw someone deploying a blueprint but it always place in the blueprint maker itself.

[tender thicket]

they break saves

yeah

[acoustic pike]

Is anyone else having issues with servers running on Windows?

[tender thicket]

better to not use them at all

[rare grove]

Hmm I see

[frosty gale]

yo I was playing satisfactory like 2 years back, how did this update blow it up so much?!?!

[tender thicket]

til its patched

[tender thicket]

they released it without testing to preserve the surprise of 1.0

slightly came back to bite them

[frosty gale]

I'm so glad satisfactory is getting the love it deserves

I love this game

[gleaming cloud]

Hey guys! Quick question. What is the path to blueprint files on linux DS? (in a container if that matters)

[sour parcel]

If anyone is interested, the PHP API interface has been updated to include some new features:
it currently can get the state of the server and also Set the options and Advanced options via the API
https://github.com/oarko/SF-ToolsPHP

[heady prawn]

It's easier to say "I'm having x problem" instead of asking if there are problems.

[heady prawn]

Man.... PHP code has changed so much since 06.... 😂

[acoustic pike]

it is also easier to ask if there are known issues specifically on instances running on the Windows platform rather than repeating the same issue over and over and getting a response of "yeah that's an issue with the windows platform"

[peak pumice]

this should be a forum, not a discord server

[quick mist]

Is that yours out of curiosity?

[sour parcel]

it has, After PHP, i may attempt working on Python

[sour parcel]

Yes.

[quick mist]

I wanted to comment on your fork saying I liked your work but your repo isn't open to Issues. So nice work (:

[sour parcel]

I started with https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools as insperation.

[heady prawn]

Check threads, or the QA site. That's your best bet to try and find known issues.

[sour parcel]

Oh, I don't use github much, Don't know the ins and outs

thanks

[quick mist]

No worries (:

[heady prawn]

I never could wrap my head around OOP. Love that PHP supports it now though.

[quick mist]

insofar as PHP supports anything (:

something something php_hammer.png

[sour parcel]

Classes have been around for a LOOOONG time, Not really OPP

[sour parcel]

LOL I literally just read you name and noticed who you were 🤣

[quick mist]

@sour parcel I was thinking you might take your implementation example out into a separate file that does a require_once() to include your library to:

• show others how to do so, and
• take the implementation example out of the require()d file.

[sour parcel]

Ya, updated the Readme.md to cover that with the new update

I know there is a lot of documentation work that needs to be done, the API documentation is rough.

[quick mist]

beat me to it then (:

[inland otter]

ok so i got it up but how do i find the ip for it

is it just my ip adress or?

[quick mist]

it's rough but seemingly complete, if sparse on some examples; that's one reason I've added examples for the REST endpoints to my repo

[sour parcel]

If you look at the new code, Let me know what you think

[gleaming cloud]

Ty Kindly!

[heady prawn]

Whatismyip.com

[quick mist]

looking now, first thing I see is at e. g. Line 56, you hard-code the REST API version rather than referencing the constant defined on line 3

[heady prawn]

Or use your local ip if you're connecting locally.

[inland otter]

well i did that

and i think i used the right one

but now it says the name is pending

but nothing is showing up

like it should to name it

or to auth it

[sour parcel]

True, thought about that already, just didn't get around to it yet... there is a lot to still implement too.

[quick mist]

you also might find my IP_v6 branch of interest that adds support for IPv6 on the UDP endpoint

[sour parcel]

Would love some time with the API developers too.

But IP6 is on the todo list.

[quick mist]

The initial version was handled by Bogdan, but I'm not going to ping him; he's hopefully busy working on the server (:

Working with him was how I got the version of SF-Tools that worked prior to 1.0 up and running

[sour parcel]

Well, I won't either, but if he hits me up👀

[inland otter]

does anyone know my issue cause i swear i opened the server and i opened the server file should work but i cant auth it or name it it just says needs to be named

[vestal gale]

Unable to connect to server after restarting. It was lagging a bit and saw these messages. They are still present

[sour parcel]

Unfortunately I am off to bed for the night.

[inland otter]

one thing is should it say my ip when i start the server or not cause it only says this
LogServer: Display: Binding Server API socket FGServerAPISocket to address [::]:7777
LogServer: Display: Binding Server API socket FGServerAPISocket to address 0.0.0.0:7777
LogServer: Display: Server API listening on '[::]:7777' (Standalone)
LogServer: Display: Server API listening on '0.0.0.0:7777' (Standalone)

[quick mist]

have a good sleep!

[quick mist]

That is normal- that means it's binding to all interfaces on both IPv4 and IPv6 for both API endpoints

[inland otter]

ok

so if i put in my ip adress it should work right?

as the connection adress

[quick mist]

yes, it should, but if you're on the same LAN, you may need to use your server's internal address depending on your router

[inland otter]

but when i use the command ipconfig in my cmd it says a diff one than like Whatismyipadress

but when i put either one it it says server name pending and idk what to do from there

OMG

i got it

[quick mist]

\o/

[inland otter]

i just used the wrong one

i had to go into my settings lol

lets go

[quick mist]

sometimes it's the simple things

[inland otter]

still thx for the help

[quick mist]

sure (:

[fervent fractal]

having same issue myself. my dedicated server (G-Portal hosted) was lagging and now I am unable to access the settings and server.

[glass star]

Have an issue where a buddy on my dedicated server disconnects nearly every 5 minutes. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It runs fine while he's on and can reconnect easily, but just has momentary disconnects. Would changing the "Network Quality" settings expect to help, or are there any known fixes for this kind of issue?

[tender thicket]

yeah upping the quality can help

[glass star]

Upping the server end? Or just the client? Or needs to be both?

[tender thicket]

unless your server is a real shitter id advise upping both it and ur client to ultra

[glass star]

Okay

Thanks, will give that a try. For some reason the server defaults back to "Medium" occasionally on restarts.

I'm sure there's probably a command on startup to set that permanently.

[cedar grove]

Hey I know people have asked this before but I'm trying to increase the player limit and I know it has something to do with this line (-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8) but I'm not sure what part to paste or where to paste it. I tried in the Steam game properties, nothing, the game server file, crashes the server, and the external file in the Windows config, nothing.

I know I'm doing something wrong, but if someone could just help me quickly, I'd be highly grateful!

[tender thicket]

in ur server launch args

how do u launch ur server

[cedar grove]

I've been using the Steam thing from a tutorial I watched. I'm assuming this is the default.

[tender thicket]

yup thats fine

when ur launching that thru the command line

[sour parcel]

not sure if I set it up right, but there is Discussions now available.. I think.

[tender thicket]

paste that code in the console as well

[cedar grove]

I'm new to this so I'm just a little confused. I have the server currently running and the console doesn't seem to recognize the code. Do I need to open a specific file inside these folders and paste it first? I've tried pasting in a couple suggestions I've seen and they crash the server on startup.

[tender thicket]

how did u run the server

just double clicking on factorygame?

[cedar grove]

I launch it from the application in the folder.

[tender thicket]

Okay

Go to the folder thats in

and shift + right click

sorry just right click

then open in terminal

[steel osprey]

ignore these messages.

[tender thicket]

then type .\FactoryGame -log -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

might need to be .\FactoryGame.exe -log -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

this is how you launch the game from now on

[cedar grove]

Open in terminal... I actually don't see any options for it.

Sorry about the trouble

[tender thicket]

dont shift

that was wrong on my behalf

[cedar grove]

I did normally right click as well.

I clicked on Show More Options since I didn't see it.

[tender thicket]

Does ur right click not look like this?

[cedar grove]

No, it doesn't. I likely might not have used Terminal before so it doesn't recognize it as an option.

[tender thicket]

right ok

run terminal

so search for it or whatever

tell me when uve done that

[cedar grove]

I might need to now go learn Powershell before I ask more questions... Didn't think it'd be so complicated.

I know how to make a file path, so what command do I need to put in to have it search for it?

Feel free to DM me the link

[steel osprey]

why dont you use windowsgsm?

[tender thicket]

can you cd to the folder where your server is?

[steel osprey]

easier to setup a Server

[edgy mortar]

could just make a .bat or .ps1 script..

[tender thicket]

bats prob easier

[cedar grove]

Haven't heard of it. Like I said, I'm really new to all of this.

The tutorial I watched kinda just has everything set up easily. I didn't think I'd have to go so under the hood to increase player count.

[tender thicket]

if u install docker u can run a docker image that does it all for u

[cedar grove]

Okay, let me do that really quick, then. Whatever is easiest, I'll work with it.

[tender thicket]

but that involves installing docker desktop and getting the image

and then youll have to download your save from the old dedi (pretty easy)

[cedar grove]

Yeah that should be easy. I see the download save button.

[edgy mortar]

paste the following into notepad, save it in your "factorydedicatedserver" folder.

Name is "start.bat"

@echo off
FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[tender thicket]

Yeah thats the easiest way to do it

@cedar grove

[cedar grove]

Oh, so if I do this, I don't have to install anything?

[tender thicket]

Yup

[edgy mortar]

then just double click "start.bat" to launch the server

[tender thicket]

just run start.bat instead of factorygame.exe

from now on

[cedar grove]

Okay, thank you so much!

I'll report back if it works quickly. Lemme shut it down quickly.

@tender thicket @edgy mortar Thank you two so much! I'm very happy you both were able to do that for me!

[tender thicket]

he did the work

[mortal flower]

So i'm playing on a dedicated server with a friend and my game crashed (for the 100th time) and when I logged back in i had nothing in my inventory and my character model was off sitting drinking coffee where I was when I crashed how do I get my character back ?

[tender thicket]

beat the fuck outta him

[haughty shell]

has anyone come across. fix yet for the server stopping the world when you leave the game.
scenario:
dedicated server running on my Windows 11 PC
I play the game
exit the game

from there the server appears to be running but no one can play any more until I restart it

[mortal flower]

actually ?

[tender thicket]

known windows bug, gotta wait for a patch

[tender thicket]

works for me

[cedar grove]

If you kill the sitting character it drops a box you can loot.

[haughty shell]

mint, thank you 🙂

[cedar grove]

You might need to redo your customizations, though.

Seems for whatever reason the server sees you as a completely different client.

[mortal flower]

Well this game has been nothing but bugs and crashes since 1.0

[tender thicket]

css is back in the office today so patches should start rolling in soon

[cedar grove]

I wouldn't say that. It works really well. Only issue I constantly see is just enemies clipping into walls.

Though can't say much for dedicated servers since I am very ignorant about it.

[mortal flower]

It has been tho I crash like every 10-15mins it's not the server cause my friend has no issues. I have really bad stuttering my character movement locks and i'll just run off in a direction with no ability to control my character. Now apparently there are two of me it's been all issues all day

[misty smelt]

does setting the restart frequency to 00:00 stop it from restarting?

[mortal flower]

so hopefully they can push some updates quick/soon

[tender thicket]

up ur network quality

[tender thicket]

the frequency is actually the restart time in utc, its super poorly worded

[mortal flower]

300MB speeds no issues with any other games/streaming etc just this game

[tender thicket]

did u up ur network qual?

the game setting

[misty smelt]

oh, thats interesting

[tender thicket]

idc abt ur internet speed

[tender thicket]

yeah its at best poorly worded and at worst a bug

[mortal flower]

never touched it touch

[tender thicket]

up it on ur client and on the server

[mortal flower]

ok hopefully this makes a difference

and froze during launch 😦

[tender thicket]

is ur server a shitter?

bc upping network qual affects server load

[mortal flower]

just a basic gportal server used em for plenty of games with no issues. Problem is client sided cause my friend has no issues. And it's only with this game I have an issue. Sometimes it lets me load sometimes it crashes like 4-5 times just trying to start the game. Uninstalled reinstalled. Made sure everything is up to date driver wise verified files you name i've done it.

[patent cedar]

Can you play single player normally?

[mortal flower]

haven't tried

but since the problems start from just trying to open the game up. Guessing it's not gonna be much different

[patent cedar]

Yeah, but there's not much they can help with if it isn't the server itself. Bad save/character data can have the same effect in single-player so you would have to try it on a fresh save. If it's just your pc or gportal being a shitter there's not much they can do in the dedicated-server support

[prime coral]

Is there a way to configure the aggressive mobs to be stronger?

[stray saffron]

am I right in assuming that an WAN ip address on my router of 100.92.xxx.xxx means I'm behind CGNAT?

[tough portal]

we had stutter issues before... my wife had it, she was on wifi, i hard lined her system again and the stutter was gone

[mortal flower]

i'm on a hardline. My modem is 6in from my tower

[glacial ginkgo]

Sounds like a job for mods.

[topaz scarab]

huh does anyone else's server also listen on 7778 in addition to 7777

single instance running, same pid, and 7778 is udp-only

[patent cedar]

This is mine

[hidden forge]

its a bug. v6/UDP will always bind to 7778 and v6/TCP will jump around if you don't pass the port argument

[topaz scarab]

neat

[sturdy parrot]

every time I quit to the menu, my dedicated server switches to offline... anyone know why?

[hasty fern]

I am having really bad ping issues with the dedicated server - usually worse when more people are online. Running the server in AWS. No issues on U8. Does anyone have suggestions for improving network performance?

[topaz scarab]

known issue, until then, host from a box other than the one you're playing on if you can

[wraith current]

yo guys, is it possible to set an admin password and hostname before the first player joins? i read it is but doesnt work for me

[topaz scarab]

connect before they do?

[mossy shale]

Hi!
I have a dockerized dedicated server at my home and I wonder to know if anyone know a solution to retrieve the server stats with a discord bot. I think with a http request, but I don't know if the API provided by wolveix dockerized version of satisfactory server can do that.
If anyone have the solution, I will take it

[topaz scarab]

what kinda stats

[mossy shale]

The basic stats, like the amount a connected players, the actual tier, milestone, etc.

[deep turret]

just read the doc

pinned message

[topaz scarab]

discordgsm's still not updated for 1.0

i wrote my own

[wraith current]

yea like set the admin pw/hostname before someone claims the server, in config files for probably?

[topaz scarab]

there's also a library or three that have various parts of it implemented, also linked in the docs

[topaz scarab]

yup gotta do it ingame or through the api

[wraith current]

any documentation for the api?

[topaz scarab]

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory\CommunityResources\DedicatedServerAPIDocs.md

everyone has a copy of it

[wraith current]

much appreciated

[topaz scarab]

the docs have a few issues, but mostly just parameter/variable casing

[wraith current]

wiki might not be updated in that case is mentions this could be done in ServerSettings.ini

[topaz scarab]

link

[wraith current]

oh lol now i see there are 2 wikis, when googling fandom wiki is 1st choice

was referring to that

[topaz scarab]

lmao satisfactory wiki admin also edits the fandom one

nvm im looking at ancient edits, so used to, anyway

there are people still editing the fandom one, smh

[frosty gale]

My boyfriend is trying to connect to my server (hosted on linux), i did open port 7777 to UDP/TCP and also i can connect to it locally from my PC, any idea for a fix?

[deep turret]

when you say open port, is it both firewall and forwarding ?

1. did you double check the forwarding rules goes to the server machine
2. did you double check the forwarding rules does not perform port mapping (i.e 7777 to 6789 for instance) and is active
3. are you giving them your public ip
4. you are not under CGNAT, / you already successfully host other things ?

[frosty gale]

1. Yes
2. Yep it’s default
3. Yup I do give public ip
4. A lot of things starting from Minecraft up to web hosting

[deep turret]

are you running it under docker ?

if yes is your container up to date (especially wolveix one, got a few updates lately to workaround issues)

[cobalt urchin]

I have dedicated server running on docker(pterodactyl) and my settings(server settings tab, especially autopause and autosave after player leave) resetting after every restart, how can i fix it?

[thorn gyro]

iv got a server up and runnin and its working for me but for my friend its saying offline any ways to help fix?

port fowarding is open udp tcp both 7777

[jade anvil]

I have a problem that I have set up a satisfactory server on the pterodactyl panel on my own vps and the problem is that I start the server but when I try to create a world or upload a world it is as if the server ignores it and something seems to be loading but eventually returns to the same position, i.e. there is no world at all and it still asks to create it... Does anyone have any ideas about this?

[runic vapor]

Hello together, I set up an satisfactory server an followed all steps on the wiki. And set it up as a service afterwards. Now my CPU usage is always at 100% since the steam user executes a command called ./Opera. it runs in the cloud on a KVM Server, and uses Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS6.8.0-44-generic.

Here is a screenshot from the top stuff:

Does anyone know what or why this happened? A restart did not get rid of it.

[dusty vortex]

no idea why thats happening... but you sure you read the wiki ?
as the ports listed in your screenshot are no longer used.

[runic vapor]

I did not compleatly read it, i just followed all the steps that were written down.

[dusty vortex]

1.0 uses only 7777 both TCP and UDP, so your other ports - assuming you upgraded to 1.0, are not used.

[runic vapor]

hm, then someone should update the wiki. Or is there an updated article somewhere?

[dusty vortex]

could also depend on how the VM is configured for CPU type, or the VM culd be running on a low end CPU, or simply is shared by other VM's so your only get a slice of the total CPU

[dusty vortex]

the wiki has been updated (link in channel description)

[runic vapor]

ah ok, i was still using fandom.com, but its nice to see satisfactory moving to somewhere better. Thanks

[dapper stone]

does anyone know why my imported blueprints arent showing up on my dedicated server? i have them in the right folder

im currently restarting the server to see if that fixes it

[deep turret]

is this a preconfigured vm ?

are you paying for cpu usage ?

because this looks like scam or bad usage thing

[fair raft]

getting this

[runic vapor]

It runs stock ubuntu, but no, the steam user was set up by myself. And no I don´t py per CPU, its a fixed price for virtual hardware.

[glad sand]

Quick question, is there a setting or mod/plugin that allows you to have an interactive map on the servers? Which is always updated automatically?

[runic vapor]

And i just did a complete reinstall of the server, this time following the instruction on the new wiki, and the command is still there and getting executed.

[cunning solar]

Hi can anyone help me with the dedicated server on epic games "Failed to connect to server API"

[regal marsh]

never seen anything like it

[cunning solar]

anyone ?

[dusty vortex]

Will require someone create a mod, best to check out the modding discord to see whats available.

[dusty vortex]

patient much.
use server manager to manage and connect to dedicated server, dont use 'join game'
if using server manager, then check your ports... https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_Forwarding_and_Firewall_Settings

[atomic karma]

how can i get the information about the "connected players" on the Server? I use lgsm and with ./sfserver details i don´t get the connected players.

[dusty vortex]

from the server manager it displays how many players are connected, alternatively you can create something to talk to the API and query the player count. https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API#QueryServerState

[deep turret]

session ids have nothing to do with dedicated servers

[glad sand]

Okay thanks

[cunning solar]

Thank you
And i did all that and i still get the same error

[dusty vortex]

is the server self hosted or hosted by a service provider?
if a service provider, raise a ticket with them.
if self hosted, how? same machine your gaming on (not recommended) or on a seperate box inside your home network?
if on a seperate box inside your home network are you using your internal IP or are you trying to connect using your public/internet IP?

[cunning solar]

Self hosted on the same machine

[dusty vortex]

and the address your connecting to is... an internal address or public address?

[cunning solar]

Public address because i have friends who need to join me after

[dusty vortex]

right, so, friends will use public address, but unless you have a router that supports and has enabled 'NAT-Loopback' / 'NAT-hairpin' then you use local/internal address

so try using the local address and not your public address

[cunning solar]

ok thanks i'll try

[true glacier]

hello guys I dont understand why I always get this error
im hosting on the same network as im playing, different machine with windows server installed and even the port 7777 is open

[dusky wedge]

For those of you running grafana or any of its ilk, I’ve written a Prometheus exporter that queries the HTTPS API for some of the basic server information:

https://github.com/dwmunster/satisfactory-exporter

[dusky wedge]

TCP 7777 isn’t open, you need UDP and TCP

[dusty vortex]

nice, i was looking at doing the same thing this week (but got side tracked) using exactly grafana 🙂

[true glacier]

meaning I need to open some other ports?

[dusky wedge]

There are two common networking protocols: TCP and UDP. The ports for each protocol are opened separately. The 1.0 dedicated servers makes use of both. If you can see the server but get “failed to connect to the server API”, that’s a sign that the UDP port its open, but the TCP port is not.

[finite smelt]

anyone getting bugs on their map markers, the icon just defaults to a truck even though uhad something else set

[dusky wedge]

You can also test the TCP connectivity by putting https://<your server IP here >:7777 in your browser. If you get a certificate warning, it’s open. If it times out, then the port isn’t open.

[true glacier]

oh ok thanks appreciate it, networking isnt really my thing xD

[true glacier]

@dusky wedge i got it ! I did everything correctly and still didnt worked until I added a new tcp rule to the windows firewall

[raw frigate]

Am I correct in assuming setting the server restart interval to 00:00 turns this feature off? I set up a cron job for this

[dusky wedge]

Glad to hear you got it working!

[dusty vortex]

negative.
the restart 'interval' is a UTC clock. (yes its wrongly worded)
so if your time zone is same as UTC then you set the value to what time you desire to restart each day.

if for example your timezone is UTC+2
then if you wish to restart at say 00:00 then you set the clock to 22:00

Thank you

Cool 🙂
Should we add somehow prefix to our metrics? So we can distinquish collected metrics from each others tool?

Is there any dedicated server i could join?

thanks!

[dusky wedge]

Nice! I had missed this in my searches. I have a hard time imagining someone would be running both in any particular environment.

I look forward to taking a look at some of the additional metrics you’ve got set up

Not to mention that they are drawing from the same source of truth, so hopefully they agree 😅

[sullen tulip]

if you like, I could add a ote at the bottom of my readme, telling: "if you like a solution in Rust, have a look at <your project>"
I'm totally not against multiple solutions, we are an inclusive community 😊

[dusky wedge]

I was planning on adding a similar link, especially since yours is much more complete

Hello!

If anyone needs help with a dedicated server and playing with friends I'll be happy to help you without any problem! You can write me in private.

[dusty vortex]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758

[spark crystal]

I'm offering to help them set up a server, not to play with them.

[sullen tulip]

But your dashboard looks more experienced
I'm having a hard time to build a good looking dashboard ^^'

[dusky wedge]

The dashboard is just changing the chart type for the four metrics I expose to “stat” in grafana. I can claim no credit there

[sullen tulip]

My dashboard is looking like this

And I need to find out how to e.g. hide or have better named legends

I will add you and maybe we can write some PMs and improve each other

[shell cedar]

Is dismantling foundations getting desynced known issue? Like I dismantle foundation, and it visually wont disappaer, collisions is gone and cannot select it for dismantle again. Reconnect to server and it disappears/synced correctly?

[dusty vortex]

ive seen a few people report this in the past couple of days, yet not expereinced it myself yet

[dusky wedge]

We’ve had this happen, sometimes requiring an actual server restart (not just the automated one) to resolve

[shell cedar]

ok, thanks.

[royal warren]

im not sure if this is an issue with dedicated servers or not, but curious if anyone is noticing an issue where the boombox will play a single song and at the end pause instead of going to the next track.

cant get my boom buddy to play constantly anymore 😭

[regal marsh]

not really utc for me
I have windows set up for CET which is different than UTC and it follows the CET time (just in the windows settings)

[regal marsh]

yes it happens

I also saw that it happens rather on foundations placed some time ago
when its happening
if you dismantle new one you just placed, no problem
if you dismantle some older one, it does not dismantle
same thing if you just reconnect and try that
I guess restart might help it
And not really sure yet, but possibly higher tickrate or rates(network) might help, I still didnt see it since I increased that and some other friends also didnt mention it since
but didnt yet play enough after I changed that to say for sure

could also be that it needs something weird to happen, for it to start happening...not sure

[subtle geode]

I have a problem can anyone help?

When i insert the correct adress and port nothing happens, no server appears nothing. Can anyone help

[median jackal]

is it possible to import a world that 2 of my friends had onto a dedicated server of mine?

[regal marsh]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Loading_a_save_file

[median jackal]

i installed the server trough steamcmd and there is no ~/.config And yes i activated see hidden files

[narrow raft]

Since 1.0 you can also upload saves through the in-game server manager

[narrow raft]

have you already launched the server at least once?

[median jackal]

Nah i wanted to know before i do

but im on it rn

[charred atlas]

server crash EVERY time auto-restart happens. 100% repro every day since 1.0 launch.

[median jackal]

okay so the server is displayed as offline

even though i started it

installed the dedicated server soft onto my server rig and want to make sure all the settings are right, sadly the dedicated server wiki doesnt seem to be 100% up to date. i just need to know the easiest way to ensure the ports are set correctly before i open it on my router

[wraith current]

if u are referring to fandom wiki then yes its outdated, for 1.0 version you only need 1 port (default 7777tcp/udp) open

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers this is up-to-date wiki

[random mulch]

Is it only the Windows version that crashes every time someone (host?) leaves? Does the linux version work without issues?

[unreal crystal]

its any server running on the same host as a client

[random mulch]

Oh.. So if it's the same local network it should be OK provided it's not on the same PC?

[unreal crystal]

can be the same PC; just not the same host. Run Windows in a VM and you'll be fine.

or WSL; etc

[naive atlas]

Hello, each time i drive explorer few minuts, I'm disconnect in loop. Have you same issue with vehicle ? I have not tried with other vehicle like truck.

as the wiki says, many config files are created only on first graceful shutdown

quit or ctrl + c

[modest finch]

can an item "Corrupt" a server or cause it to crash.

I have an assembler manifold up with a splitter/elevotr thats not connected. I set the server up and running after a crash.. If i delete this 1 thing- server crashes.
This is the error code it spits out https://i.imgur.com/wOEipBU.png

[desert monolith]

ok so i made the server and it works i can join

but

when other ppl use the ipv4 adress it dont work

is it the wrong one

it works for me

and the video i found it works

so can i get help

or someone else who can test joining to see if it was just those ppl who tryed

[dusty vortex]

Which IP are you and they using?
They should use your public IP, I guess you running server at home? So you use your Internal ip

[desert monolith]

whihc one theres like 3

this crap is so confusing

idk which one is my internal

theres no "internal" put anywhere

[dusty vortex]

[desert monolith]

i aint even made a server before i aint got no clue tf im doing

this is the one i used

which i used the ipv4

[dusty vortex]

Internal is reference to a range of IP used inside your home network

Public references the IP provided by your Isp

[desert monolith]

so would it be the IPv4? adress

[dusty vortex]

Did you read the wiki?

[desert monolith]

when i use the website whatismyip its different

[desert monolith]

no cause its 1. confusing as hell
and 2. i dont think its helpful cause none of the commands even work

[dusty vortex]

Honestly if you lack networking knowledge at even this level then I highly suggest you do not try hosting/exposing your computer to the internet, without understanding even the fundamentals of networking you are opening yourself up to a lot of risk.

[desert monolith]

like this one New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port udp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 7777

doesnt work at all

not my fault that NONE OF THE DAMN COMMANDS WORK

i dont care bout risk i wanna know which damn ip i use?

do i use the dhcp server ip adress?

cause theres dns

dhcp

ipv4

[terse lynx]

Dont answer if you dont want to help!

[dusty vortex]

I suggest you try to understand the clear guidance of the wiki.
So much is explained and answered.
If you don't understand steps or don't know networking then there are hosting providers that will do this for you as a service

[desert monolith]

JUST TELL ME WHICH ONE IS MY INTERNAL
the dns
the ipv4
or
the dhcp

[dusty vortex]

On the contrary, I cannot I'm good faith try to teach even the fundamentals as it will get deeper, and then there is internet security, lots to consider.
I'm helping by advising not to open ones system up to attacks. A case of safeguarding someone who will not understand the risks.

[unreal crystal]

telling people they're outta their league is help

[desert monolith]

like all it says is "static lan ip" which i dont know how to set up and it dont tell you but you said that i need to use my internal one then procededs to not tell me which one is my internal which should be easy if you know?

[unreal crystal]

go look up a basic networking 101 course; thats outside teh scope of Satisfactory's dedicated server

[desert monolith]

ITS NOT THAT HARD TO TELL ME WHICH ONE IS THE INTERNAL

im raging over here cause yall aint helping at all

you respond

then tell me to do something thatll take ages

[unreal crystal]

because it's not that hard. Internal IPs are internal to your network. External IPs are your public IPs

[desert monolith]

when i was already told to use my internal ip

ok but which one is the internal

theres like 4

[unreal crystal]

w/e you set

no one knows your network

[dusty vortex]

All of them! Yes really.
You need to work that out which your internal and external IPS are.

[simple geode]

theres a website that tells u what ur external one is, and u can cmb prompt the internal one

[desert monolith]

what command

i swear lenovo is more helpful than yall

[dusty vortex]

You don't understand the difference between internal or public which is fine... So read up on networking to understand.
Teaching network 101 is out of scope here.
There are plenty of resources online to teach you the knowledge you need to understand how it works which is required rather than getting angry at us, please do some homework

[graceful birch]

windows+r -> ipconfig -> probably the one that starts with 192.168 or 127.0

type cmd on the prompt from windows r

[simple geode]

press the Windows Key on your keyboard, type cmd into the Search bar, then press Enter on your keyboard. Enter ipconfig /all into the Command Prompt window and press Enter on your keyboard. Your local IP address will be listed next to IPv4 Address.

OMG bro just helped too like idk how it was impossible for 3 other people to say that it was the one next to IPV4 ADDRESS

[latent raven]

Hi guys, whenevery I create a new game via the dedicated server, it starts at level/stage 2. Why is that?

[dusty vortex]

its by design.
check out the patch notes, they are considering options to start at 0
#patch-notes message

[latent raven]

I would like to configure it, to start with the rocket animation for everyone. Is that possible?

[unreal crystal]

have everyone play the tutorial + launch the rocket; then jump into the DD

[dusty vortex]

not currently no, its being considered (as per patch notes).

[verbal jungle]

You can, create a save game in single player and upload it.

Oh right, you will miss the rocket animation though

But will start at tier 0

[latent raven]

Thanks for your answers!

I was just wondering, since it was unexpected.

[lean cargo]

Where can i put blueprints in dedicated server

[random mulch]

I've just set up WSL2 with Ubuntu to hopefully host a Dedicated server. I have Satisfactory through Epic Games. Will the SteamCMD work or am I wasting my time?

[lavish magnet]

Is there a fix for the server shutting down after the claimer of the server logs off? (or whatever is causing the server to go offline when I log off)

[chrome pumice]

Installing and running the steamcmd Satisfactory server is free for anybody.

[unreal crystal]

this game allows anon login for steamcmd; tldr yes it'll work

i think the only game i know of that makes you buy a stupid server license/game license is farming sim of all games. and arma

[chrome pumice]

Not that I know of.

[chrome pumice]

I am not sure of the file but I think you can just go up to a blue printer and upload on it I think.

[gusty rampart]

Anyone had an issue on dedicated servers where dismantled objects persist until you log off and back on to the server? I have a bunch of steel girders I need to remove, but having to relog just to see what I've done is rather annoying to say the least

[lavish magnet]

yep, that kind of desync has happened to me. haven't found any way around it other than to re-log.

[gusty rampart]

I can't even target things that are already dismantled, and I cannot stand on them either, they just visually appear to still be there

Makes working on this large build rather annoying

[versed ivy]

Guys, where are blueprints files located in a dedicated server? In the path below there's no blueprints folder

%localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

[gusty rampart]

Do you have any blueprints yet?

They don't make the folder until you have at least one saved

[versed ivy]

I downloaded a few

Have not created one yet

[gusty rampart]

In game I mean

Create one in game

Then it'll make the folder for you

[versed ivy]

Ah ok, I'll do this. Thank you!

[deep turret]

a spitter just spawned on me

[dusky wedge]

I’ve found an actual restart of the server (not the daily automatic ones) helps to keep this at bay. I could schedule it regularly, but I currently just do it when it starts acting squirrelly

[deep turret]

this is fucking infuriating

[gusty rampart]

Hmm... That did seem to fix it. What a horrible resolution 😄

[dusky wedge]

[fading quarry]

I have the container restart every night (for backup) and have no such issues at all, the builtin restart have never really worked at all, from my experience.

[amber spoke]

Is it possible to turn off the builtin restart? I have cronjob that restarts the whole VM (and other things) so it's kinda redundant feature in my case

[quick mist]

No

[lavish magnet]

there's not one that turns it off, however there is a configuration setting that allows you to control how long between restarts, and so long as that time is greater than your cron restart it should be sufficient for your use case.

[quick mist]

That setting is labeled as an "interval" but it is not. It is simply setting at what time to do the internal 'housekeeping' restart.

[lavish magnet]

😦

[random mulch]

Has anyone setup the Dedicated Server on WSL? Wondering how you deal with IP addresses, port forwarding from the router etc..?

[dusty vortex]

Why might someone choose to use the windows subsystem Linux instead of running the server directly under windows?
Seems to add extra overhead and complexity for little to no benefits.

[random mulch]

Because it crashes under windows when the host leaves the game

[dusty vortex]

Just curious what benefits there are for such configuration.

[random mulch]

Trying to set up a workaround for it crashing until the devs fix it

[dusty vortex]

Hmmm.
Strange. I use windows and it does not crash after I leave :/

[still barn]

Hi @sturdy gust, by default your project use multithreading ? I use it with container manager on synology server (1522+) and it seems to use only one thread.

[random mulch]

Be interesting to know why yours works. You play on the same PC?

[wild topaz]

Also getting this with my port are open

[dusty vortex]

No, it's hosted on a dedicated server (as in a dell server mounted in a server rack) at home, running windows server.

I connect to it from my separate gaming pc (win11) using my local IP.
Friends connect using my public DNS.

[deep turret]

a friend of mine just can't add server ? is there a workaround for that ?

they just add server but nothing add

[grim mica]

Server does not crash.. ugh quit saying crash when that isnt the behavior

[limpid abyss]

I had an issue with spaces at the end of the address when copy pasted, not sure if that applies in your case

[grim mica]

When the admin 'user' leaves the server stops listening for connections, the process is still running yet wont allow anyone to connect until the process is stopped and started

[dusty vortex]

You are correct it don't crash it stops listening on the ports.
... Which I'm not experiencing. 🤷

[random mulch]

OK. not exactly a crash. It no longer listens.

[grim mica]

Which I am experiencing, on two different saves acrosss two brand new installs on baremetal windows

It is a current, widespread bug but as per usual, doesnt happen everywhere

[dusty vortex]

When I connect I don't bother to enter and password for admin other than it being first claimed.

Are folks singing in?
Maybe I'm not signing in as admin so it seems me as a normal player?

[grim mica]

I have a feeling its tied to something to do with Steam/Epic integration but when the user disconnects, it very clearly stops listening (even says it in the log)

I'll reproduce it now.. sec

[random mulch]

I tried running as a client and not admin, by connecting through my external ip address (and port forwarding), but it still stopped listening

[deep turret]

I just foundout it does not support dns address with multiple dots
(this is normally the standard as a server specific dns will always have 2 dot in standard)

[dusty vortex]

Works.co.uk
Does.not.work.co.uk
?

[deep turret]

Works.com
DoesNotWorks.co.uk

[dusty vortex]

My DNS is something.something.something it works just fine :/

I'm not sure what I did, but I must have rolled a 20 as lucks been on my side thus far and everything has just worked with no issues that others are experiencing :/

[grim mica]

Fresh server start:

Joined built some things, disconnected back to main menu:

Whered it go george

Seems the behavior in the logs between 356306 and 366202 changed as it used to say it closed the socket, now that isnt there.

Same as here, just dont see that engine exist requested anymore
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e08561772a987f4a8a9d67

[dusty vortex]

I understand you did not need to prove it (but it might help others to understand).

My friends and I jump on and off over the days and in my case it seems to be fine.

[unreal crystal]

happens if client + server on same host.

[dusty vortex]

I can join, leave, join, leave, join leave. In fact have do so multiple times today without needing for restarting the server

[grim mica]

Yeah I have an actual dedicated in my server room, client and server are NOT on the same machine

[sturdy gust]

The Docker image makes no difference here, it's down to the underlying game server. Game servers are typically single-core heavy, and Satisfactory is no different

[dusty vortex]

Maybe that's the key, as I use a separate dedicated machine for hosting my games on :/

[grim mica]

Hell if the linux server doesnt exhibit this, I might just built a VM and move to that for now because it is really fking annoying to have to constantly cycle the service

[tulip jackal]

It's a bit like sending a bottle to the sea, but I can't reach my dedicated server (self-hosted on my NAS). I'm using the Docker version (from wolveix). Importing my backup is no problem, but when I try to connect, I get these errors (creating a game results the same error)

I'm playing with the epic version of the game.

[sturdy gust]

<@&387163995947270144> now that the API workaround is no longer needed, can we remove the pins about it? Currently that's pins 2, 3, and 4. Just trying to prevent some of the confusion we've seen here recently 🙂

[fierce night]

sure

[sturdy gust]

Thank you so much!

We should also probably review some of the other pins, given that they refer to the old ports etc.

[fierce night]

if you need any command or something which would make it easier to handle your awesome end-user support, let us know

[tiny junco]

any suggestions in my situation? I have windows based server, had no issues connecting from anywhere before 1.0 update with 15777 port.

After update, both TCP/UDP @ 7777 open (tested)

Can connect to server and runs well on local network via local IP.

External IP no bueno... No matter what I tried clients cannot see server. From time to time I can see that server reacts with error unable to establish connection something something.

I run bat file with just -unattended -log no other modifications

Installed via steamcmd (server reinstalled in attempts to fix issue)

[grim mica]

Do you have steam or epic? Using Steamcmd to download the server files or?

[wild topaz]

i server is running but cant even see it localy . just say server is offline

[dusty vortex]

@grim mica So your running the windows version of the game server, on a separate machine but once you join and leave, you can't rejoin.... While as I do the same, I can.

I don't know the reasons why but definitely interested to try find out how/why mine might work but others don't.
Saying mine works ain't all helpful on it's own but maybe there something we can find a difference and thus understand what conditions cause it or not.

[latent raven]

7777 open on your router as well? Firewall too?

[tiny junco]

yup, can see it open from extrenal services, and yes server firewall open as well

[dusty vortex]

Used steamCMD to install

[sturdy gust]

@fierce night it looks like some of the oldest pins here refer to the old fandom wiki, can we add my following message as a replacement?

[tulip jackal]

I have the same issue, did you find a solution ?

[fierce night]

View the community wiki for up-to-date guidance: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[grim mica]

Correct, my DS runs on baremetal Windows on Server 2022 Std, downloaded via SteamCMD and run with NSSM as the local 'Administrator' user. All other functions work, blueprints, save intervals and save retention (I set this in the Engine.ini) just fine.

I do typically run the game client from Steam, though I do own it on both Epic and Steam and have linked my Steam and Epic

[sturdy gust]

Smarter 😄 Thanks!

[fierce night]

removed that old video as well

😄

[grim mica]

Let me download Epic launcher and try it from there, I wonder if its Steam network/API related

[latent raven]

Anything special about your (router) setup? For example satisfactory does not port redirection (like 15777->7777).

[tiny junco]

no redirection, it is UI UDM pro router

confusing part that it was working for a while no issues with pre upgrade build, not sure what could have changed

[dusty vortex]

Ok, so same, bare metal, win server 2022 std, steamCMD to install.... I'm not using NSSM, I am running as administrator, I VNC into my server to remote control it, I use a .bat placed on the desktop to launch it

Game machine/ client is steam (I got epic but not the game in epic, so it's not linked.)

[tiny junco]

logically it was just opening of 7777 ports...

[latent raven]

True. I wish I could help. Maybe a reinstall does the trick.

[tiny junco]

did it twice 😅

[grim mica]

Only suggestion I have for this is that if there are no log entries in the FactoryGame.log when an external client tries to add the server to Manager, packets arent making it. If its not perimeter firewall, is Windows firewall enabled and intercepting perhaps? Seems you have proper firewall as well, have you checked packet captures?

[dusky wedge]

If it’s not seeing the server at all (as opposed to complaining about the API), then it’s not able to connect on the UDP port. Have you tested that port specifically externally?

[tiny junco]

yes, seems that it is open

[dusty vortex]

@grim mica Does it still do it if you launch it manually ie not via NSSM?
Seems to be the only spotted difference thus far.

[true glacier]

For me it was my firewall

[tiny junco]

Could this be a problem that API is listening on undefined IP?

I tried binding to external IP but it crashes server during start

[sturdy gust]

Nope

[dusty vortex]

Needs to bind to the machine local IP not your external IP.
Your router does all the NAT to translate the IPS from external to internal

[sturdy gust]

@tiny junco To clarify, are your external users trying to use IPv6? Additionally, have you verified from an external user that they're unable to connect? I ask as for the most part, you cannot connect to Satifactory through your external IP if you reside within the same network

[grim mica]

Let me try that as well, Epic version just finished downloading

[vestal tartan]

I have a LinuxGSM server with the TCP/UDP 7777 port forwarded and can only connect locally. External connections can't connect, server isn't visible.

[sturdy gust]

Check your firewall, and that you've port forwarded both ports

[tiny junco]

ipv4

[tiny junco]

local IP of server or random local ip?

[tiny junco]

I tried form multiple machines away from ocal network

[sturdy gust]

@tiny junco could you send a screenshot of your Ubiquiti port forwarding rules?

[dusty vortex]

Of the server

[grim mica]

The 0.0.0.0 is :: is akin to 'any' local adapter address, it tells the process to listen on this interface. If you put in your external IP on the machine where the process is running and it doesnt have an adapter with that IP address (it wouldnt/shouldnt in most cases) it will fail to bind and then start

[sturdy gust]

@tiny junco should look something like this:

Swapping out the IP with your local server IP, of course

[dusty vortex]

My start.bat...
(Not sure where the affinity part came from or rather I don't recall... Maybe a carry over from my u8 days)

[grim mica]

Just tried it with '-log -unattended' without NSSM and same behavior, trying Epic client now

[sturdy gust]

You don't need port 7778, FYI

[tiny junco]

yup

[grim mica]

And same thing with epic client as well.. ugh

[tiny junco]

its after trying various combinations 🙂

[sturdy gust]

Do you have any of Ubiquiti's port security rules configured? I seem to recall that one of them can break game server connectivity

[dusty vortex]

Does NSSM setup a windows service? I've no services setup for it.

[grim mica]

Let me install it on my other server and see if the behavior follows on a completely different machine/os/install

[tiny junco]

hmm need to look into this

[sturdy gust]

Trying to find it in my router's settings to help 😄

[latent raven]

Unless you use a dynamic dns. Then you can test that for external connections as well.

[sturdy gust]

Let's keep to IPs to keep things simpler until the issue is resolved

No point in adding an additional potential point of failure

[grim mica]

Correct, NSSM just makes sure if the process crashes or the service restarts, it comes online agaub automatically (treats it like a Windows service set to automatic w/ the recovery options enabled). NSSM just makes creation and management of the service easier since there is no built-in Windows service creation tool aside from sc

[limpid abyss]

just a note, been using your docker image for a long time now and the only issue I had was when the VM cpu check thing happened haha

[sturdy gust]

For mine, you want to look under network/default/settings/security/general

[sturdy gust]

You mean when the check was added? 😄

[limpid abyss]

haha very true!

[sullen tulip]

@sturdy gust I added your project in my both repos 🙂

• https://github.com/Shinigami92/satisfactory-server-api-client#see-also
• https://github.com/Shinigami92/satisfactory-server-prometheus-exporter#see-also

[weak coral]

Same for me

[sturdy gust]

Sexy stuff, thank you! Love to see the Prometheus exporter 😄

[limpid abyss]

Oh heck yeah, I was just about to look into setting up a prometheus exporter lol

[sturdy gust]

I do have a Go SDK for the API locally, but haven't pushed it to my repo yet

🤷‍♂️

[sullen tulip]

if you like TypeScript, contribute to mine
If you like Rust, then look into @dusky wedge 's repo

[dusty vortex]

i left, using local ip.... then my friend just joined, so his external ip lists

[sullen tulip]

(I mean I like Rust ^^' but I choose my mother language for this time XD)

[grim mica]

Are you autosaving on disconnect and also continuing with no clients present?

[dusty vortex]

Pause when no player, auto save when any player leaves

[grim mica]

I am not pausing when nobody present, perhaps that is why..

[dusky wedge]

I'll probably write an actual API wrapper at some point, my repo currently consists of just enough to query/parse the basic info

[dusty vortex]

@grim mica When I left I was at the time the only person online, I last connect some hours ago, my friend just joined in the last few mins.

[sullen tulip]

@dusky wedge when your dedicated server is not running, but you are running your prom exporter: how did you thought about collecting metrics?
Or: how do you handle undefined data/metrics?

[dusky wedge]

bold of you to assume I'm handling that robustly

[icy wing]

any adivse on why my dedicated server keep overwriting my configs? i change network quality in game to ultra, then after restarts its back at medium.

it also overrides ini configs i change

*reverts

[grim mica]

Are the ini set to read-only?

[icy wing]

its on an ubuntu dedicated server

[dusky wedge]

at present, it would likely just echo the last thing it saw. I might have it return something indicating an issue if it hasn't gotten a response in N queries

[icy wing]

according to the wiki they should ideally not be set to readonly there

[latent raven]

You should only edit the file, while the server is shut down.

[tiny junco]

got it working, VPN settings got in the way on the router side

[icy wing]

i did, once it started up it got reverted again

[sturdy gust]

Fuck yeah, glad to hear it!

[sullen tulip]

So I currently do two things:

1. I memoize calls to the API, so I don't ddos 😄
2. I send a promethues valid 500 error when the dedicated server is down, so invalid metrics get not collected

however, I do now have some new more custom metrics like last session save timestamp, but this might be undefined when there never was a session (e.g. unclaimed server)
and right now I assume this would break my exporter :/

[jolly orchid]

you can't ddos as a single person making api calls to a server....

[dusky wedge]

I took a different approach for #1 where I refresh the stats on a set schedule that's independent of the scrape frequency. Scraping more frequently would just return "stale" data

[sullen tulip]

you can scrap every second via grafana

[dusty vortex]

Never say never, I'm sure someone will manage it lol

[dusky wedge]

I think the point they're making is you can't have a distributed denial of service from one location

[jolly orchid]

the first D in DDoS stands for distributed. Unless they are distributed...

[dusty vortex]

A technicality yes.
I've single handed DOS my server before (not satisfactory but for hell let loose) before... For science and to help the Devs fix shit.

[jolly orchid]

how does DoS'ing a server help devs fix shit?

[dusty vortex]

Long off topic story, but tldr, it did help and they did fix stuff.
Namely turned out it multi core was disabled in their code.

[jolly orchid]

"multi core was disabled in their code", gonna make me roll my eyes out of my skull with this.

[wild topaz]

How Can i change my player connection from 4 to 10?

[dusky wedge]

there's an INI file you can change, but I find it easier to add a flag to the server command:

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[dusty vortex]

Yer performance tanked and I used grafana to plot all the metrics as proof. They then listened.

[jolly orchid]

multithreaded code design is not a toggle...

[grim mica]

Tried variances in options with pause, autosave, etc - no dice.. still goes offline after disconnecting until the process is restarted.
Trying it on my other physical windows box now

[lime plinth]

Is it possible to run the main game as a dedicated server without having to install the server itself? I don't have that much space

[jolly orchid]

and in most cases, games are single-threaded applications and do not benefit from multithreading.

[lime plinth]

I just want the game to continue and produce parts without having the whole game open

[dusty vortex]

As a software dev I know this very well but! They mixed up console Vs pc hosting in their code... The mind boggles more, but it happened.
Ps don't want to derail or go to far off topic here 🫡

[jolly orchid]

uninstall some games @lime plinth

[dusky wedge]

The server files on my linux machine are ~4 GB

[jolly orchid]

dude are you like 5? @dusty vortex nothing you said makes sense.

[lime plinth]

Steam shows a 12gb install though

On windows, that is

[quasi kettle]

Do Prometheus export mods work already for 1.0?

[hidden forge]

Not really? Many games are multi-threaded by now. Its just that a lot of it depends in a Main thread, thus creating a single thred bottleneck

[dusky wedge]

There's a built-in API that can be queried now

[dusty vortex]

Add a zero to that then yes heh.

[grim mica]

Yeeeee, both offline lol

[jolly orchid]

Satisfactory dedicated server uses like 1-2 cores

[quasi kettle]

Oh I didn't realize they added native metrics in the new API target. Is it doc'd anywhere yet?

[sullen tulip]

I'm not yet so deep into it, but there is a custom data via HealthCheck which can receive custom data from modded servers

[dusky wedge]

There is documentation distributed with the game files. It's also posted at https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/wiki/Official-API-Docs

[quasi kettle]

Oh. I already saw that and didn't really consider that to qualify as metrics.

[grim mica]

Uh.. no. In U8 my endgame save was using all 8 cores/16 threads on my physical machine, certainly one more than the others but everything had like a 20-30% load with the main at 60-70%

[sullen tulip]

I would love to bind custom data to my prometheus exporter via optional env var option

so if you have a specific mod I should support, let me know

but it needs to support the native HTTPS API from satisfactory

[dusky wedge]

In particular, the QueryServerState returns some metrics on players, tick rate, tech tier, and such: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/wiki/Official-API-Docs#queryserverstate

[quasi kettle]

That's not really what's happening. You're just seeing the load spread over your cores by the os.

[sullen tulip]

sadly not player specific but num of players

[quasi kettle]

That's metrics in the sense that a coin is a turning complete binary computer with enough throws.

[grim mica]

Okay, and what about that makes it single threaded?

[atomic karma]

Does anyone have any ideas? I have micro jerks in the hypertube and flickering.

[sullen tulip]

Please upvote https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e4d2f4772a987f4a8afb55 🙂

[grim mica]

It seems you are claiming the OS scheduler is breaking up a single thread and loading it across multiple cores, how exactly does that work? Satisfactory spawns something like 30 threads as background and/or foreground workers for other things outside of the main game loop. I agree there is certainly a single point of performance limitation but how else do you do it in simulation games that rely on deterministic stepping

[dusky wedge]

This discussion is leaving the domain of the satisfactory dedicated server and may be better served by another channel.

[vagrant ravine]

Wanna drop-kick the dedi server atm. Wasted hours trying to get the stupid thing to work, but still no dice. I actually get the IPv6 to list a ping and say Idle, but it still gives me a Server API error. IPv4 says offline despite all the ports being forwarded properly. sigh

Getting LogOnlineServices: Error: [FLobbiesCommon::Initialize] Failed to initialize schema registry but not sure that matters bc I'm running the server through steamcmd

Tried completely uninstalling and removing the directories and the folder in appdata, installed fresh for 1.0 too, bc I heard some old UE4 files could cause problems.

[wild topaz]

Do i past that in the consol ?

[dusty vortex]

@grim mica - when you leave, does it kick other players if they were online? (mine does not of cause, but curious of the behaviour you experience)

[chrome pumice]

That's a command you add to the end of your startup command.

[grim mica]

Dont have anyone else to test connectivity atm, so not sure on that. My guess is that since the symptoms exactly match otherwise - I would experience the same

[dusty vortex]

may i DM you? maybe i can try connect for the test? and likewise i invite you to connect to me for purpose of testing? just an offer while i got some free time 🙂

[icy wing]

i keep seeing this in my logs when i join the server. Ive tried editing the ini files manually (game, engine and scalability), overwriting everything to a laaarge value. I even tried passing those ini overrides as arguments when launching FactoryServer. I always seems to limit my client netspeed to 120k. Any ideas/advice?

[chrome pumice]

Not sure about it currently, but in the past the netspeed needed to match on client and server or it went back to default.

[icy wing]

ive got 104857600 on both, as suggested by the wiki 😦

[grim mica]

I wouldnt look too much into that, ive been successful in adjusting the speed to 1Gbps but it makes no difference in load speed/streaming assets when moving through the world (even with megafactories) and has the added benefit (at least in U8) of making the connection stupidly unstable

[grim mica]

Sure

Setting to 'ultra' is the best you are going to get in terms of reliability and any perceived performance improvement

[icy wing]

interesting, i thought it had to be network related because i get like 15-20 fps when moving around my nuclear power plant when on dedicated server. If i take that save and run it on my game itsself, i get stable 120.

i mean 120k netspeed limit is pretty bad

[random relic]

I died and when rejoining I still see my old body as a disconnected player. My inventory and equipment is empty (because my "ghost" has it, I guess)

[grim mica]

Thats an interesting scenario, usually my FPS will drop significantly if I move around the entire world but if I keep to a section of the map the client maintains high FPS for at least 4-6 hours

[random relic]

Any way to recover?

[icy wing]

kill your other body

[icy wing]

nah its pretty broken for me atm. theres quite a lot of pipes, but the massive difference in performance when running local vs dedicated seems crazy

[chrome pumice]

Also don't join so quickly after getting disconnected.

[grim mica]

Indeed, wait until the player count is 0 in server manager (or less 1 depending on if with friends) before rejoining, will ensure you get your proper player ID on join

120000 isnt really too bad, most games dont need alot of bandwidth to send data back and fourth

[random relic]

So the equipped items are gone forever?

The death crate only drops the inventory, I assume, not the equipped items.

[sturdy gust]

This is a known issue with IPv6 with the server

The API service binds to localhost for v6, that's why

[chrome pumice]

If you disconnect and restart the server you might get them back.

[icy wing]

i suppose. its pretty sad maaannn, having this level of performance on the dedicated server is pretty much unplayable. But i also dont wanna solo xD

[vagrant ravine]

Okay, is there a guide on how to change that? Also doesn't explain why IPv4 doesn't work despite having the same firewall settings for the dedi server I had when it last worked when I played during U7

[grim mica]

Try to login away from the big build and approach it from afar, distance wise think from dune desert to spire coast, doesnt have to be too massive

[sturdy gust]

It is a known issue, meaning it is unfixable right now.

For IPv4, it sounds like you haven't changed your port configuration. 1.0 changed it to ONLY 7777/udp and 7777/tcp

Please read the channel pins

[broken parcel]

hi guys, i'll ask here cuz the reason is my dedicated server, how can i run the game in the last version to play on my not updated server?

(it has mods on it so i can't update it yet)

[vagrant ravine]

I have 7777 udp/tcp allowed for inbound and outbound on the windows firewall and port forwarded on my router.

[sturdy gust]

To confirm, are you trying to connect to your external IP from in-game? If so, that's why. You must use the server's local IP if you reside on the same network

[chrome pumice]

You can't.

[lost palm]

My dedicated server wont let me save blueprints and crashes

[wild topaz]

Thanks server is now live .

[vagrant ravine]

Okay, I'll try that. I had used a hotspot from my phone to test from a separate laptop the other day, but I went on a trip and that laptop and such is still packed away so I hadn't tried that angle yet

[candid swallow]

my deddicated server keeps appering as offline to anyone who tries to join it and it appears offline to me is i leave after joining it the first time

[wild topaz]

check your port forwarding

[icy wing]

doesnt help much sadly. only solution here would be to deal with the lag, finish the build and never come back to this area of the map

[sturdy gust]

Known bug, your server has crashed, you need to start it back up

[candid swallow]

it has done it like 8 times now

[sturdy gust]

Yes, it is a known bug

If you play on the same system as your server and leave, the server will close

[candid swallow]

ok but what about it wont let anyone in even if i havent left the game yet

it just appears offline to them

[sturdy gust]

You need to check your server's firewall, and your router's port forwarding

You haven't configured them properly

You need to allow 7777/udp and 7777/tcp

Please read the pinned messages

[midnight fern]

hi guys 🙂
on my server the foliage i cut down just came back out of nowhere undestrucible with the chain saw...
After a normal server restart (Every 24h)
Does anybody else have this issue and a workaround?

[vagrant ravine]

When using the internal IP it does work to connect. (yay) Let me pull out the laptop and check for remote login

[strong tartan]

HI all, when connecting to a server using server manager I get this on the first connection each day: it sits and spins and the only way to connect is to remove and re-authenticate the server , does anyone know a fix ?

[midnight fern]

I Restart the server via my admin panel from the server itself.
it also doesnt show in the list until i restart it

[strong tartan]

server gets restarted each night so not sure if that may be it :?

[midnight fern]

That should be the problem yes.
Why and how is another thing huh

[candid swallow]

i went thur the pinned comments and it is talking about the stuff i have already done with my firewall and i am not understanding the rest i have a rule set for UDP/TCP on the port 7777

[sturdy gust]

There is a networking issue between your server and the internet

It's as simple as that 😄

[strong tartan]

Sad times , i'll keep an eye out for updates then

[lost palm]

Server crashes when saving blueprints

[sturdy gust]

@candid swallow the server showing offline means that 7777/udp is unreachable outside of your network

Start there

[candid swallow]

meaning the rule on the firewall for udp

[vagrant ravine]

No luck for connecting remotely. Shows as Offline :(

[sturdy gust]

Then there's a networking issue between your server and the internet 😦 If it says offline, the issue is specifically with 7777/udp access

[fading quarry]

Clear BP designer then try make a new BP before you save. This have been a issue ever since BP designer was added.

[candid swallow]

i just went thru and the rule for udp looks right by what i was told to do but i am very much out of my depth for this

[sturdy gust]

Unfortunately there's an issue somewhere with your configuration. Double check that the port forwarding is using the correct IP to forward traffic to for your local server

[lost palm]

but the BP isnt visible in the blueprint menu, its empty even when i add them via files

[candid swallow]

how to check that

[fading quarry]

This can also happen if objects that have been built outside of the blueprint designer resides inside the designer. So try replacing the designer then try again.

[vagrant ravine]

Do you still need the -nosteam flag if you are using steamcmd and don't have a separate steam account for it?

[lost palm]

tried it. I only placed a foundation in the middle. 1st. click does nothing 2nd click instantly crashes the server. I cant use blueprints overall sever never had any.

[sturdy gust]

No, your launch command should only contain -log and -unattended (the latter is unneeded on Linux)

You may optionally also include -Port=7777, but nothing else should be used

[vagrant ravine]

Welp, that's what I have atm so hmm

[scenic birch]

anyone else having the server crash on disconnect (windows, steamcmd dedicated server)

[strong tartan]

@sturdy gust HI mate you done anything with the image today / yesterday as all the rubber banding has sorted itself right out

[dusky wedge]

Are you running the server on the same machine as your game client?

[final totem]

hi can someone help me I have a server on nitrado we have a pretty big savegame and it always lags like hell

[dreamy wolf]

Ok, I was a dunce and forgot to disable the stingers in my server (major arachnophobia). Can I disable them without completely deleting the world

[tardy harness]

Does the normal arachnophobia mode not work on servers? (assuming that helps you?)

[dreamy wolf]

I forgot to enable it

[tardy harness]

No, I'm saying is it not a client thing? I guess I thought it was a client thing

[pallid relic]

Is it me or are blueprints a bit bugged on dedicated servers? It always places it 1 tile to the left lmao

[ivory prairie]

Hi, I have a problem, my server worked very well today but now i cannot restart it, it crash on startup. The last log say EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[fathom jacinth]

Hey guys, just asking real quick, since the latest update (1.0.0.1 i believe) our server perfomance has massivly decreased, having large CPU spikes which increase the delay of ingame actions. I think our server hardware is pretty good (Ryzen Epyc with 4 dedicated cores and 16gb ram). I tried running the server in a docker container, as well as directly executing the server without virtualization. I dont understand what the problem could be, maybe someone of you have an idea. i appreciate any help :).

Some more digging around:
When no player is ingame, the cpu idles at like 10%.
As soon as a single player connects, cpu goes to around 50% usage, and sometimes spikes to over 100%, then creating a really feelable lag

[icy wing]

you guys seeing massive fps drops in game as well? when moving around and rendering things

[fathom jacinth]

Rarely, it is mainly a latency issue we are facing.

[sturdy gust]

Nope, no changes 🙂

[candid swallow]

for port forwarding i cant set up the same port for udp and tcp what am i supposed to do or do you not need tcp to be on port forward

nvm just figured it oout

[fathom jacinth]

You are also playing on the latest with your friends in a docker container, dont you? Are you experiencing any issues with performance, or have any tips?

[chrome knot]

I am trying to make API calls to my dedicated server and i am unable to get a valid response from the API. Is there any guides for this that would make this easier? I have already been looking at the documentation and everything, my server itself is functional

[scenic birch]

No

[dusty vortex]

so an interesting turn of events....
folks servers stop listening when the 'server owner leaves'..... well doing some testing with Gunter, as him as owner, and me as a standard player, it stalls when he leaves. (so it boots me to the menu if im joined)

when i claim his server, so now im the owner, it works just fine, i can join and leave multiple times and no kicks or servers go offline.
he joins as a normal player and when he leaves, the server then stalls and as me as owner, i get booted to the menu.

so we have been able to confirm that its not related specifically to being the server owner!

what it is yet, we dont know... but its not specific to the server owner. .... interesting and the plot thickens, still no actual answer as to why yet.

we also tested with us both on my server, where i am owner, and am able to join/leave multiple times without anyone being kicked or the server stalling.
he too can join and lave multiple times without issues as a standard player.

[sturdy gust]

Yep, it's been rock solid. Performance complaints are almost always due to not allocating enough RAM to the server, and/or using a CPU with low single-core performance

[sturdy gust]

We'd concluded before that the owner is irrelevant 😄 It's whoever is on the same system that is hosting the server, which is usually the owner.

The issue is to do with a port conflict, that's all

[sturdy gust]

Please read the wiki, it's in the pinned messages

[tender thicket]

back in the trenches I see

[sturdy gust]

😆

[dusty vortex]

aye, but both us use separate servers/hardware to host the server and play the game, so in our testing there are essentially 4 machines at play

so seems its not specific to running server + client on the same machine

[tender thicket]

so theres 2 servers and 2 clients at play here?

Are the servers on windows?

[sturdy gust]

You're experiencing the issue in that environment? That's weird as hell

[hasty tangle]

Running a i7-7700k with 40GB RAM and it's pretty laggy on Tier 6 now we are starting to build - any tips and tricks for config (was an older version)

[dusty vortex]

yer , we been checking envrioments between us...
#dedicated-servers message

mostly similar, but a small handfull of what should be non important differances

[sturdy gust]

I recall there being something mentioned in here about the port conflict specifically on Windows servers

So, I'm not surprised

Can't remember off the top of my head

[tender thicket]

Yeah ive seen stuff about windows hosting in here recently

it is when admins dc from a server iirc

that softlocks the server

[dusty vortex]

yer, i have 0 issues, while others do, so been trying to work out WTF, thought to share what has been found thus far, even tho it still dont answer the question as to why.

[tender thicket]

yeah its definitely a per-env thing

windows servers in general have been kinda rough

honestly id recommend just using docker

then ur on linux and its one less thing to worry about

[brave heath]

i'm unfamiliar with dedicated servers as a whole, does a satisfactory server need a machine running full time for it to operate?

[tender thicket]

For a dedicated server yes

[dusty vortex]

well for me as i say, 0 issues, so ill continue as is, but i was keen to try help others investigate and look at differeances to try understand why.
which is where containers shine in such situations to limit envriomental issues

[brave heath]

balls

[tender thicket]

The only reason you would want a dedicated server is if you want your world to keep working while ur offline or if u have friends that wanna play and not rely on u being on

the formers for resource generation and whatnot

[atomic karma]

In general, could it be that the dedicated servers (Linux) are currently not yet so performant?

[tender thicket]

if u dont need either then u can stay singleplayer

[tender thicket]

nah linux is fine

[brave heath]

it's mostly so i can play if my friend is offline

[tender thicket]

then u need a dedi yeah

u can rent one from a hosting company

[atomic karma]

i have ubuntu with lgsm, and i have micro lags in the hypertube... rest is fine

[brave heath]

costs money, think i'll pass

but that's good to know

[tender thicket]

Maybe hypertubes are specifically poor performance yeah, I couldn't speak on that

but from what ive seen in my (admittedly early-game) world is completely fine performance

it also depends on your hardware spec

thats prob the most important part

[brave heath]

know any good ones in case i change my mind?

[tender thicket]

I self host so im not sure but im sure if u ask around in here ppl will have their recs

[brave heath]

i assume self hosting relies on using a seperate machine to host the server? because otherwise a regular server just seems similar

[rare otter]

In this case a "server" is pretty much anything that has the resources to host it. That can be a standalone computer, a VM on a server, etc.

[tender thicket]

Yup I have a different system on my local network (a mini pc that I bought) that I use to host the server (among a slew of other things)

[brave heath]

very cool

[tender thicket]

Yeah not a really strong reason to host a server on ur own pc unless u wna leave it on all the time

for some ppl that works

[rare otter]

My brother-in-law has a Dell server so I spun up a Linux VM and that's how I host it.

[tender thicket]

nice

yeah something like that just works well

[rare otter]

Kind of....his server has VMware on it but, since Broadcom is shady as hell, it no longer gets security updates so he won't open any ports for external communications anymore. I don't blame him. We need to switch to Proxmox.

[fading quarry]

Avoid building mega factories, on my old server we made a simple rule every building had to be fully overclocked to reduce the number of factory buildings and this helped a lot. I just placed several containers filled with shards that everyone could easily access.

[tender thicket]

Im on proxmox and its brilliant

admittedly im not using it nearly to its fullest extent but for what I use it for it works great

[hasty tangle]

Or just get a better CPU right? Lol

[tender thicket]

not having to spend the money on that is also nice tho

[hasty tangle]

We did have a i3-10500 before and that seemed a lot better for some reason

Wasn't expecting the i7-7700k to be quite so bad

[tender thicket]

not everyone can just readily get a new cpu (and prob mobo + ram)

they arent cheap

[hasty tangle]

Yeah gone up for sure

May have to have a bit of an equipment juggle

[tender thicket]

yeah not ideal

[unreal crystal]

they tease me; i just want dedi server fixes

[tender thicket]

gotta do what u gotta do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tender thicket]

yup, stagings a good sign tho

[unreal crystal]

i'm impatient; release the blueprint fixessssss

[tender thicket]

hoping they drop another smaller patch today or tmrw for the windows issues and the bps

[unreal crystal]

i need to scale lmao; we're at tier 7-8 and running overnight no longer is the answer

[tender thicket]

lmfao

[unreal crystal]

i made my first blueprint like i've played factory games before and i don't wanna try that again smh. not til i know it'll actually not grenade the server

[tender thicket]

yup absolutely, i havent even researched them yet

i darent touch bps rn

not until theyre fixed

[icy wing]

wait whats broken with bps?

[tender thicket]

they are generally buggy

[icy wing]

ive been using them all over the place 😮

[tender thicket]

like can lock up ur save

[unreal crystal]

small ones work okay; just don't go overly zealous

[tender thicket]

fair play, just know if you start getting weird behavior to investigate the bps first

[icy wing]

too big? about 900 concrete aside from what can actually be seen here

[tender thicket]

not sure personally

[icy wing]

i have crazy fps drops around the areas where i dropped these bigger blueprints when on dedi server. not sure if thats just a server issue though

but other than that, no issues so far really

[tender thicket]

yup id say that might be a problem with the bps

[unreal crystal]

xd mine you couldn't even clear the blueprint designer without a crash

[tender thicket]

time will tell (i hope)

[unreal crystal]

or delete the placed Bps

[tender thicket]

yup thats another thing

Ive heard of ghost objects as well

just a whole mess

but I have faith in css

just an inconvenience rn

[unreal crystal]

😭 i was venting last night bout blueprints and sitting there staring at the game like "why am i mad".

too many other games throw a 1.0 on the most jank junk and never fix it

[frosty gale]

yea I figured this out like last week

[unreal crystal]

scarred af

[dusty vortex]

i must have missed such messages (i was away on holiday) glad your seeing similar results tho, helps with the extra data points 👍

[frosty gale]

#1283191576641798144

[fathom jacinth]

I see. But shouldnt an ryzen epyc and 16gb be enough?

[dusty vortex]

thanks bud!

[tender thicket]

In isolation yes - but what else is running on the hw?

[frosty gale]

in case you come across anything else

[unreal crystal]

epycs have lots of cores; not very fast cores right?

[tender thicket]

Whats taking from those resources

[quasi kettle]

I just wish they'd fix the blueprint alignment problems. Not having working blueprints really sucks 😭

[frosty gale]

otherwise if/when its solved ill announce it there as well

[fathom jacinth]

Nothing. Just the satisfactory server.

[unreal crystal]

doesn't an epyc run at like 3.3ghz all core

[tender thicket]

what os is running on the hw

[fathom jacinth]

Yeah at least compared to a „normal“ gaming cpu definitely. They clock in pretty low

[tender thicket]

thatll take resources as well

[fathom jacinth]

Linux

[unreal crystal]

that's def a lot of your problem; epycs aren't strong single core contenders

[quasi kettle]

Epycs aren't great for satisfactory hosting. It's massive core count lower speed

[unreal crystal]

it's single core stacked (satisfactory)

[fathom jacinth]

Hmm. Then i might try switching it up to another processor. Need to see what hetzner has to offer

[quasi kettle]

It's good for hosting a ton of things, not running a single core limited thing well.

[tender thicket]

hetz has a good wide array of stuff

[unreal crystal]

i'm hosting on a 5900x with no problems across any of my servers

arma + 3 HCs; satisfactory; minecraft; et al. no issue

[rare otter]

Apologies, I'm at work and in a meeting. I'm going to try to convince him to move to Proxmox but he has a lot of VMs running and I know is concerned about losing them (he's a Network Engineer and does a lot of testing at home).

[tender thicket]

yeah I 100% understand that, especially when youre so rooted within an ecosystem like that

[fathom jacinth]

Yes that is true. I just really like their cloud solutions, but then you have sone limited choice of cpu. Maybe need to rent a dedicated server then. But should be easy.

[tender thicket]

I do think that there are migration tools but im not sure

[quasi kettle]

Proxmox is an awesome wrapper around the basic Linux VM / lxc stuff

[tender thicket]

yeah the dedis are solid, i cant remember how decent the pricing is tho

[sturdy gust]

Hetzner pricing is excellent

[fathom jacinth]

Would be nice. But resetting up everything with docker should also not take to long.

[sturdy gust]

It's one command for Docker 😄

[tender thicket]

yup if u got it all dockerized thats even better

[unreal crystal]

smfh githubs blocked?

[tender thicket]

Ive dockerized my whole pterodactyl instance

shouldnt be no

[sturdy gust]

Github is not blocked

[quasi kettle]

Containerizing your stuff is generally always worth

[sturdy gust]

E.g. https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[unreal crystal]

https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

[sturdy gust]

Works fine

[unreal crystal]

cause i used the github . io

that's why

[tender thicket]

ah

ask a mod to allowlist that?

[quasi kettle]

Oh hey wolviex 😆🫶

[tender thicket]

Seems like an oversight

[sturdy gust]

Heya 👋

[fathom jacinth]

Already used your image haha. Just need to setup a firewall and some users to keep it somewhat not completely exposed.

[unreal crystal]

anyways. https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

This is a quintessential proxmox resource.

Stand up every resource ez pz. it's about as close to docker as it gets (there's even one for docker)

[quasi kettle]

My server greatly appreciates you and your work

[unreal crystal]

90% of my homelab is tteck's 1 line setups for everything

[tender thicket]

proxmox helper scripts my beloved

[rare otter]

Ugh. I told him we need to move his server away from VMware and he was like "yeah, I'm thinking about it" but, until he does, I can't host my Satisfactory server. Lol.

[quasi kettle]

Why is VMware blocking satisfactory?

[sturdy gust]

For how much I've used Proxmox, I've never come across these

Guess I've never needed them

[tender thicket]

ur missing out big time bro

theyre goated

[sturdy gust]

What for?

[unreal crystal]

missing out; i am lazy and it makes life so simple

[tender thicket]

1 line installs for stuff

[sturdy gust]

What can it do that Docker can't?

[unreal crystal]

sets up everything from my bridges to downloading the right apps n packages

[tender thicket]

like it gives u an installer for ubuntu n stuff

[unreal crystal]

LXCs > docker

[rare otter]

Broadcom cancelled the free versions of VMware which also means there are no more security updates. It's not safe to open it to the interwebs anymore.

[tender thicket]

i think of it more for before docker

[quasi kettle]

I'm also not familiar with these one liners. But if they're running someone's marginally trusted sh script. I'll pass

[sturdy gust]

Disagree, totally different uses

[trim raven]

any 1 here a super pro at getting shockbyte sever rentals up and running - i used the ip and port in game - with name pending and not authenticated

[tender thicket]

like installing ubuntu then u can run docker in that

its the step immediately preceding it

[quasi kettle]

... Lol ok that's a level of paranoia that's impressive.

[sturdy gust]

Just run Docker on the Proxmox host 😄

[tender thicket]

are u using server manager?

[trim raven]

yep

[tender thicket]

stand back from me, Heathen

[unreal crystal]

yea; LXCs are better cause i can scale them to include errything i want. full ubuntu vs trying to hackmeal my own docker images together

[rare otter]

We both work in IT and have seen the worst in cyber security. Lol.

[tender thicket]

is 7777 udp/tcp exposed on the server?

[trim raven]

yep

[tender thicket]

try to go to https:// ip:port in ur browser and tell us what u c

[sturdy gust]

Like what?

[quasi kettle]

Docker > lxc > vms

[unreal crystal]

plus i like being able to be fuck this and flamethrower it with the flammenwerfer and deleting entire LXCs. more satisfying than deleting a docker img

[tender thicket]

u should see a route handler error

[sturdy gust]

That's fair hahaha

[unreal crystal]

my home media setup relies a lot on running weird apps together. like adding things to my tailscale net; i can just do 1 line setups in each LXC no problem through the proxmox shell.

in general i can also just apt get w/e and not have problems; it's still minimal linux that i can bloat as necessary

adding tailscale to my opnsense install

[tender thicket]

I use LXCs when I can over vms

[trim raven]

ya not working

[unreal crystal]

weird fringe cases n stuff like taht

[tender thicket]

show us what u c

there should be a certain error

thatll tell us if ur port forwarding or not

As an aside, someone should make a tool that can do a test to those apis

just a github page or smth that hits those apis

[unreal crystal]

LXC use cases

Efficient access to hardware resources: LXC’s close interaction with the host OS allows it to achieve near-native performance, which is beneficial for applications that require intensive computational power or direct hardware access. This can include data-heavy applications in fields like data analysis or video processing where performance is critical.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): LXC is well-suited for VDI setups because it can run full operating systems with a smaller footprint than traditional VMs. This makes LXC ideal for businesses deploying and managing virtual desktops efficiently.

Straight from docker's site 😄

less bloat

[trim raven]

o i see it its a port forward error i get now

[tender thicket]

The only VM i acc use on proxmox is for my docker container for ptero stack, bc I read that docker can alter the CPU in ways that can be bad if not properly isolated

[trim raven]

ty

[tender thicket]

np

[unreal crystal]

i'm using the alpine docker lxc script that includes portainer

but thanks to all the other lxc scripts i don't have a single app i want to install in docker by this point

[tender thicket]

Nice, yeah ill spin up another docker vm at some point for my *arr stack but, like, I want to also install home asst and thatll prob be an lxc

undecided tho

[dusky wedge]

Did someone say NixOS?

[unreal crystal]

haos is a VM by script defaults

def worth it though.

[tender thicket]

oh the proxmox helper scripts makes it a VM?

[unreal crystal]

ye

[tender thicket]

eh thats fine

they know better than I

[unreal crystal]

you end up attaching a lot of USB passthrough n other stuff; so yea easier as a VM

[tender thicket]

right makes sense

[unreal crystal]

i've been debating on cancelling my OVH subscription and moving all my game servers from the 5900x to the 12700k i have at home

but that's a lot of persistent heat i think i'm happy paying to not have at my house; and it has a lot better bandwidth

[tender thicket]

the only reason i did a vm for docker is bc I saw something from the proxmox devs saying it should be in a VM instead of an LXC
