[Suggestion] Better explain how to set up the server for multiple people to play

[MajickTek]

Both me and my friend tried setting up the server with the auth/character ports forwarded and were unable to join each other.

We even tried vpns such as Hamachi.

Someone on the discord told me i needed to set up a host name and pfx certificate so I did and it made zero difference

[TecCheck]

Yeah, the problem is (at the moment) that you need a certificate from an official CA (a company that signs certificates). But they only sign certificates for domains on the Internet and so if your device is only in a local LAN this won't work.

We're working on a solution for this problem but It might take just a little bit of time

[MajickTek]

I assumed if I bought a domain with SSL from Namecheap it would work but it seems like it won't so it's unclear to me what this "official CA" stuff is about

[TecCheck]

I think that should work, but I'm not really an expert on SSL/TLS and certs. Do you know who signed this certificate?

[MajickTek]

It doesn't i bought the SSL through namecheap and created the cert/pfx using the openssl tool.

maybe theres more to it than i think

EDIT: also the domain just has an "A record" pointing to my IP right now

[TecCheck]

You can use Let's Encrypt if you have a domain: https://letsencrypt.org/

That should be fine. Could you copy the client logs here (or on Discord)? (they should appear if you launch it from the terminal)

[MajickTek]

Update: Still no luck also there are no logs to post, no errors or anything just the standard boot messages

[Jettford]

The Namecheap SSL cert will be signed by a valid certificate authority there is no question on whether it is a valid SSL cert. You need to be sure that the server is loading the SSL certificate and using it for its connections.

Please check if there is a log that starts with PRIVATE KEY:

[Jettford]

It should be literally the first log the server outputs

FYI - The user was able to solve his problems with the following actions:

1. Open all required ports 2. Generate certificate without password 3. Make all dlls in the lib folder executable (chmod a+x)

Although technically I solved this issue, in the end I was still likely missing something: The server can't seem to keep the client authentication when loading the rocket world after creating a new character.

With DLU releasing in about a week I don't expect this to be fixed right away but it would still be neat

This is almost certainly a configuration issue not a server issue.

[MajickTek]

maybe a config issue with my webserver but not with uchu itself. i copied the config files to my local pc and i can connect to it fine from localhost.

it's just on the webserver that it wont work
