RCON port generated randomly when defined in conf.json

[lipowskm]

So I saw there was a pull request for that, but the RCON port is still randomly generated for me.

I added "rcon_port": xxxxx in conf.json, tried restarting the service a few times and still no luck. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this feature still not working?

Thanks for reporting the issue, I'll see if I can reproduce the port not getting set to whats configured in the config file.

Hi,

I have a /opt/fsm-data/conf.json in the container that contains the following:

{
        "rcon_port": 34198,
        "rcon_pass": "xx",
        "sq_lite_database_file": "/opt/fsm-data/sqlite.db",
        "cookie_encryption_key": "xx+xx=",
        "settings_file": "server-settings.json",
        "log_file": "/opt/fsm-data/factorio-server-manager.log",
        "secure": false
}

I am expecting the RCON port be: 34198 but when starting the server I see:

5.829 Info RemoteCommandProcessor.cpp:130: Starting RCON interface at IP ADDR:({0.0.0.0:42723})

Is my config correct?

[Mattie112]

I also see an env var mentioned (https://github.com/OpenFactorioServerManager/factorio-server-manager/blob/develop/src/bootstrap/config.go#L27)

root@f6406466fc9e:/opt# env | grep -i rcon
FSM_RCON_PORT=34198
RCON_PASS=
root@f6406466fc9e:/opt#

But this still seems to use a random port

You did everything correctly. That is a bug in the log-manager :(

[Mattie112]

For funs I tried downloading the source (on windows), couldn't compile the go part (gcc required), started WSL and compiled it from there.

I now have a src/conf.json file:

{
    "rcon_port": 12345,
    "rcon_pass": "xx",
    "sq_lite_database_file": "sqlite.db",
    "cookie_encryption_key": "xx=",
    "settings_file": "server-settings.json",
    "log_file": "factorio-server-manager.log",
    "secure": false,
    "port": 123456,
    "autostart": "true"
}

And yeah WHY is it working now? Perhaps somekind of Linux issue?

It got fixed with commit https://github.com/OpenFactorioServerManager/factorio-server-manager/commit/75ca66769f65361206681502e0b7624aa7ba46a2 So you can use the docker image develop as well.

[Mattie112]

Ah great! I was looking through the code and didn't see anything wrong (and it worked on WSL). Did not thought that I might be running an old release. I will try out the develop version!

[mroote]

Glad to hear the fix in develop seems to be working. We should likely create a new release soon to move those bug fixes into the main branch.

[Mattie112]

That sounds like a good plan :)
