Login to steam failed

[Steven-Harris]

I was trying to get my own server setup and had some issues. I can access Rcon and I was able to register my server with rust's list but I can't connect to it at all. I have port forward everything on my router and there is no other firewall in between.

I started digging in the log files and noticed this line... [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. I then exec'd into the container and tried logging in manually but nothing worked. For some reason `login anonymous prompted for a password and didn't work. I also tried a steam account that I normally use when steamcmd requires a steam account and it didn't work either.

Here is my docker-compose:

version: '3'
services:
   server:
      image: didstopia/rust-server
      ports:
       - "28015:28015"
       - "28015:28015/udp"
       - "28016:28016"
       - "8085:8080"
      volumes:
       - "./rust:/steamcmd/rust"
      environment:
       - RUST_SERVER_STARTUP_ARGUMENTS=-batchmode -load -logfile /dev/stdout +server.secure 1
       - RUST_SERVER_IDENTITY=RUST_BUCKET
       - RUST_SERVER_SEED=12345
       - RUST_SERVER_NAME=Rust Bucket
       - RUST_SERVER_DESCRIPTION=Rust Server on Tank
       - RUST_RCON_PASSWORD=${bucket_key}
       - RUST_OXIDE_ENABLED=1

Environment (OS/Distro, Docker version etc.)

Server Version: 17.09.1-ce

The SteamAPI lines are safe to ignore, and are happening for everyone using the linux build of the Rust server (as far as I know).

There's quite a few possibilities as to why it's not working, one or more firewall being the most common one, but since you said you've already check any firewalls, it's probably not that.

Do you see the server on something like Battlemetrics, and if so, could you provide a link, so I could check it out?

If it's visible there, have you tried connecting to it manually from the Rust client's console?

If all else fails, one other common issue occurs if your host machine (server) has multiple IP addresses, and you sometimes need to bind the Rust server to a specific IP address, otherwise it won't accept connections from different IP addresses.

Here is my battlemetrics https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/rust/1936114

I don't have multiple IP's to the server so I don't know what else to try. I haven't used the rust cli so I will have to check that out

The console is saying

I have tried running with all the different branch types... NO BETA, release, and staging

[Steven-Harris]

I even manually set the rust branch on the server to be release and set the client to release so they would be the same.

Server logs show their protocol is 2052 not 2054

Tried turning off oxide

Finally got it, after forcing some updates and crossing some fingers
